Read the comments. Are we getting politically correct about languages now? OMG.

I'm telling you, there are weird commenters in my feed!

WTF? (Sorry, pardon my "english".)

Oh Lord!
Or is that now politically incorrect too?!

Some people are way tooo serious!

Panties in a twist much? LOL I find all Irish jokes hilarious. Life is to short not to be able to laugh at yourself. Girl needs to chill out.

I think it's just a case of a French commenter + huge chip on her shoulder=makes herself look stupid and uptight.

One of our old friends/neighbors was a linguist (and English was not his first language.)

He spent about an hour one evening emphatically correcting we Americans for using the expression 'party in your pants' (someone was reiterating a commercial or something that used the phrase) because, in fact, it is NOT possible to have a party IN your pants. Maybe outside, but NOT inside. To which, of course, the native English-speakers were all, wow, guy, chill out: it's just an expression. But he was like, "NO! NO you CANNOT say that: IT'S NOT CORRECT!"

He truly, truly just could not wrap his mind around the fact that it's a colloquialism and felt that we were all doing the English language a disservice by saying things that were just not factually possible.

Kind of like Ziva David on NCIS and her butchering of American phrases.
