Moron Test

Signs you might be a moron

Listen for these common mispronunciations:
Libary instead of Library
Aks instead of ask
Ain’t instead of isn’t
Expresso instead of espresso
Expecially instead of especially
Supposebly instead of supposedly
Aminal instead of animal
Pronouncing the “S” in Illinois

Also listen for the misuse of words or phrases:
Irregardless instead of regardless
“I borrowed him the book” instead of “I loaned him the book”
Using the incorrect there, their or they’re
Using the incorrect yore, your or you’re

Typical behaviors or signs:
Deafening car stereo systems
Multiple body piercings
Tattoos on the face


I am not an elitist. I just no longer have any patience for stupidity.

Ha! I agree completely - Another annoyance is when people use the plural version of names - Like "I am going to Meijers or Wal-Marts, etc....".

"The Internets" & "misunderestimated" are new classics in the moron dictionary. However, I work full-time (incidently, with the Sherpa), and I only expect to live another 50-60 years, so I can't possibly list ALL the Dubya moronisms. (http://chimpomatic.net makes an impressive effort)
