8 English Jokes To Make You Smile
Everyday Feminism

As an English major, I find grammar and English joke humorous. The accuracy is incredible, and it makes me sure that I chose the right major. Here are some of my favorite grammar and English jokes.

1. The first rule of English is their are know rules.

Reading that sentence physically hurt me because you can read that sentence with no problem, but you know that the grammar is incorrect.

2. Fahrenheit 451 is a book you can really burn through.

Now, if you haven't read this book, you wouldn't know what the joke behind this was. Basically, it's a book about burning books. Get it? Okay, maybe it wasn't that funny, but I still appreciated it.

3. What do you get when you mix literature and alcohol? Tequila Mockingbird!

Honestly, this is probably my favorite English joke because To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book. It's just funny, okay?

4. The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Get it? Because past, present, and future are tenses? This is gold, people. It's funny.

5. When I was a kid, my English teacher looked my way and said, "Name two pronouns." I said, "Who, me?"

I have so much love for this.

6. Anything that has, "Commas save lives!" at the end are also some of my favorites.

"Let's eat Grandma!" vs "Let's eat, Grandma!"

7. What's the difference between a cat and a comma? One has claws at the end of its paws, and the other is a pause at the end of a clause.

GOLDEN.

8. Spelling is knowing your crap and knowing you're crap.

This is just a great insult within a grammar joke, which I am all about.

These are just some of my favorites becuase I think they're all amazing. I have many more, but I thought that 8 would be enough. This is for all the grammar geeks out there, like myself. I hope you enjoyed it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
