    For fuck’s sake, BuzzFeed! Hire writers who KNOW properly English language usage!!!

    Ran across this BuzzFeed article today and found myself nearly screaming at my phone.

    People Are Spilling The Tea On The Final Straw That Made Them Quit Their Toxic Jobs, And My Jaw Is Hanging Open
    https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahdobro...traw-that-made

    Seriously, BuzzFeed! Do your reporters even graduate from high school??? Because the article headline should be “…Spilling the BEANS…”, not “Tea”! “Spilling the tea” means to gossip, and that’s NOT what the people revealing the reasons why they quit their jobs are doing! I’ll let Google fucking straighten you out about this.

    Hannah, dear, it was a fun article and all, but seriously. Please learn a broader range of English language idioms beyond what you and your gossipy high school friends used when cliquishly dissing others behind their backs.

    It may have been a bot that wrote it. Then the “author” gives it a brief review to make sure there are no crazy errors. Detecting an improper usage of the type you pointed out would take actual intelligence, which is not what the internet is about.

    also bad is using two idiomatic expressions back to back (spill the tea & the final straw)...that's too much abstraction for the readers to understand easily--one is okay, two is overload

    Hate to do this buddy and I know you can’t change your thread title on this number one Polerfraud site but…..you should have said/written Hire writers who know “proper” english usage, not properly. Humph

    btw I love Mumbles as much a non good looking male could hope to expect any response from another member of the same sex

    The fact he can control a 16 or 32 wheeler while posting intelligently on this outhouse reduces me to a student at best

    I gotta give the haters SOMETHING to come at me with, seeing as I’m otherwise perfect in every way.
