Subject: flyers on campus Today

I saw the drawings that are for WE by Rawles Hall. A friend and I saw the flyer that is hanging up on the bulliten board not far from the building and decided to stop and read it. I just wanted to comment on it. The grammer in this flyer is deplorable. You really should proofread your work. I am not an English major, but a mathematics major. I'm not very good at writing, but I am sure my 12 year old sister could write better than that. Subject-verb agreement was completely off in many sentences, for example the first sentence. I am not sure how this happened since Word Processing software will catch the grammar errors if you just push the little button.

It did provide us w/ a laugh after we just got out of a math lecture, which is something that we don't get all the time. On the other hand, this is an embarrassment to you. If you didn't write this, you may want to forward this to who did. I am e-mailing you about it because it is your php address that is listed at the bottom of the page.

Subject: a paper on my windshield

Hi. I got a paper on my windshield written in a language that I don't know. It's really bothering me and I was wondering if you could tell me what it says in English or at least what the basic gist of it is.
Thanks.

Subject: Please learn Ennglish

I am e-mailing on the subject of projecting your message, the "we" ideal. The various "we" propaganda leaflets and chalkings all over the IU campus have led me to your website. I'm afraid that I must point out that, despite the Utopian and friendly nature of your message, you grammar and punctuation are horrible.

First of all, it seems you're having a problem with plural and singular versions of verbs. For example, from your "we" testament: "Our mother 'nature' offer for us..." If you haven't realized the error in your writing yet, I will point it out for you. Mother nature is a singular noun. To correspond with that noun, you need a singular verb--"offers," with an S. If, perhaps, you were speaking of various "Mother Natures," then perhaps "offer" would be appropriate; however, it is not appropriate here.

Also, you have a rather sporadic method of placing punctuation throughout your text. Consider this line from the second paragraph of your writing: "It is very simple it is me, you and the others that is we the total humanity, living on earth." I'm sorry, but this sentence is filled with grammatical and punctuation errors. First of all, you are creating a clause which you will fulfill with a declaration when you say "It is very simple." This is the clause, "It is me, you (etc.)" is the declaration. Now, despite the fact that one will not work correctly without the other, you must partition these two statements if you want them to make sense. Consider this revision: "It is very simple: It is me, you and the others..." It is here at "...that is we the total humanity, living on earth[,]" that I see another problem. The sentence structure here is simply rather confusing, due to the fact that you're switching between single and plural nouns very quickly here. Consider this revision of the entire sentence: "It is very simple: It is me, you and the others living on Earth (Earth needs to be capitalized, it is a "place," after all,) that comprise the body of people defined by the simple term, "we."

I'm not going to continue pointing out the errors in your paper right now. If you truly wish to seek help in cleaning up your grammatical and punctuation errors, please go to Writing Tutorial Services in Ballantine hall.

It is not your message I'm fighting against, it's simply your writing errors. I'm not saying that *I* don't make spelling, punctuation or grammar errors either; there quite possibly might be some in this e-mail. However, I actually support your message and I sympathize with your fight--humanity should consider what the monster it has created by living the "throw-away life;" consider our VERY long winter here at Indiana and the possibility that such a long cold season might be the result of atmospheric pollution. However, for a man of English and literature, I'd have to say that my own fight is against messages of any kind that will reach the public without being properly organized.

In short, if you're going to orate, orate WELL. Please clean up your "we" message if you're going to continue telling the world what it needs to know.

Subject: WE

Hey, I went to your website and I read WE and I saw it being publicized around campus and I just don't understand: why are you doing this? It's not funny, it's mean! If I had written WE I would be having a nervous breakdown, knowing that everyone around campus was laughing at my writing. I don't think it was written by a native English speaker, and I really think we should have more respect for foreign students. This poor person was given a very confusing assignment by their professor, it seems, and they were doing their best with it. I wouldn't be able to do as well in most languages except English, myself. It's pretty mean to laugh at foreign students. Surely there are better ways to find humor in life, without hurting people.

So I guess I was just wondering why you're doing this and I wanted to suggest that you stop because I think it's pretty mean.

Subject: "We" is a pronooun, and "You" need to get your facts straight Jomann,

The memory required to contain a message rubutting the full idiocy of your flyer is not available with today's most advanced e-mail systems, yet I will try.....

1. From the broken grammar used in your flyer, I must come to the conclusion that either you've gotten an older sibling to let you use his/her e-mail account to recieve replies and you're actually in grade school (since the grammar used in your flyer is not adequate to pass 6th grade's stringent requirements) or that you were under the influence of alcohol or some other sedative agent.

2. If the abuse of English grammar was intentional in your flyer, I must first question: why? Second, I feel that I must remind the author(s) that English, like almost anything in life, has rules for a reason. We may not agree with those rules, but we must accept them. In the case of English grammar, it is customary to align verbs, nouns, and pronouns with both number and case. Doing so allows the reader to understand what you are trying to write easily and makes you appear more intelligent naturally.

3. Based on your flyer I must also conclude that the author is a socialist. The fact is, "we" does not have several meanings. "We" is a pronoun used to vary sentence structure when writing grammatically preferrable sentences. Using "we" to mean people as a whole connotes a sense of communistic living. The government and economy of "we" thinking has been tried and has failed consistently.

4. From repetitive inspections of your flyer, which were required to decipher what I think is the real meaning, I would venture to guess that your argument is that this "we" person(s) has somehow damaged the environment. In this respect, I further conclude that the author is an environmentalist. Environmentalism is a good cause when it is put in the right place. Unfortunately, the United States of America is no longer in need of the environmentalist movement. Every scientific study regarding air pollution, for example, has found that humans produce less than 1/100 of 1% of all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The rest comes from the mythical mother nature herself. I don't mean disrespect to nature, rather I'd like to point out some facts which throw the environmentalist movement into question. Environmentalists also conveniently forget about biology. Trees, those oxygen producers which have reached almost biblical importance in the environmentalist movement, are the prime cause of air pollution. You see, trees, like ever other plant, produce carbon dioxide as well as oxygen. Everything with chlorophyl (I apologize if I spelled that wrong) must have oxygen to create energy, and when the chlorophyl is done using the oxygen it must expel carbon dioxide. In the case of tree harvesting, I would point out that the practice of simply cutting trees down without reseeding the earth they came from has ended in the US. It ended less because of governmental actions and more because the lumber industry quickly realized that it could run out of trees and it was indeed in their best interest to replant them so as to harvest these trees when they reached maturity. Furthermore I would point out that humans have not yet had a visible impact on the planet. If one observes the planet from orbit it is demonstrated that there is in fact only one manmade structure visible from space: The Great Wall of China, which, I might add, does not produce harmful pollution. If we consider the pollution produced from cars I would urge the environmentalist to look at a car while it is running; specifically, examine the exhaust end of a properly equipped automobile. It is easy to see that no visible exhaust can be seen except in cold weather. In cold weather, one can see water vapor escaping the tailpipe of an automobile. When one observes a semi accelerating, one can see large billows of black smoke being belched out through it's exhaust. This is carbon monoxide, which cars don't produce. In short, humans no longer harmfully affect the environment.

5. Our leaders are not responsible for the environment or its care. The constitution was not created to protect the environment; at least the constitution of the United States wasn't. Nowhere in the constitution is it stated that the government of the United States shall have an Environmental Protection Agency for instance. Nowhere does it say that elected officials shall have the poorly defined "responsibility" of overseeing the protection of the equally poorly defined "environment."

Of course there is more, but I'd have to take the author for a walk in a forest to further convince him/her that the environment is not in danger, teach him/her the constitution, take the author on a trip to the library to research some statistical facts about the environment, and teach the author about English grammar and why we have it. I do have finals to study for.

Dear Occupant:

After a late night of masturbation, I decided to "surf the web" as recommended by many readers of 'Consumer Reports.' I came upon this strange, but intriguing aqua home page. I've seen aqua cars (Plymouth Horizon) but not an aqua home page. After reading WE and the critical reaction to WE and the critical reaction to the critical reaction to WE, I literally shit blood. In fact there was so much blood, I had to see a gastrointestinal specialist and had a colonoscopy. Since that experience I always offer free rectal exams to many of my friends using only my left thumb. So far no one has taken advantage of this free limited time offer. Here's some haiku:

Fuck this shit
Colonoscopy
Ass exam

Later I learned this was not the standard form for haiku, but I said "screw it." I someday hope to work for Radio Shack. I also want to kill the kid that says "zoom zoom" on those damn car commericals. Do not eat lentil soup if you expect to get some action.

Yours truly

Subject: WE

Jonathan, I totally agree with everything you are saying and have no problem other than please refrain from posting these on walls and wooden doors that can be damaged by the tape. I have bulletin boards all over the Music area for this. I have pulled them from the new wallpaper in the Clouse Lounge and some wooden doors that we just had refinished. When the walls and doors have to be replaced there goes another tree for that, so see it all effects the great outdoors and earth that God gave us to take care of. Unfortunately like you say we are not doing a very good job at it. Thanks for your individual efforts to make others aware of this.

Subject: Chalking on the sidewalks

Dear Jonathan-

This morning, I received a report from our custodial staff that chalking was found on the sidewalks surrounding the Indiana Memorial Union. Specifically, they read:

WE

The IMU has a specific policy that mandates there to be no chalking on any sidewalk surrounding the building. We work hard to make sure that the Indiana Memorial Union and surronuding campus areas look their best. We ask that you do your part to keep our campus looking beautiful.

University policy allows the Indiana Memorial Union to charge those affiliated with the University for cleaning charges associated with chalking around the building. This email serves only as a warning, but another violation of the IMU Chalking Policy will result in charges for cleanup.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Jack Voorhees
