It’s like its own paradox.

    I'm disappointed by this. :(

    I hate to be a grammar Nazi, but in the description you've made an its/it's mistake…

  3. Seth

    No, actually, he hasn't.

  4. rosscott

    Fixed!

  5. rosscott

    No, your right. Its my mistake.

  6. Rosscott

    I had, I fixed it.

    Hmm, I do see the grammatical error. I'll forgive you for that.

    As to laundry, I'm surprised at you!!! After a while, laundry, dishes, etc. can usurp a living space, any living space, be it a closet, apt, condo, house, etc. To paraphrase a Parkinson Law, "stuff expands so as to fill the space available."

    Stuff:
    1. The material out of which something is made or formed; substance.
    2. Unspecified material.
    b. Household or personal articles considered as a group.
    c. Worthless objects. (I realize that's a matter of personal opinion. This can be the basis of many, many arguments between roommates, couples, families, etc.)

    Procrastination: In many cases, the bane of one's existence.
    The basic definition is: to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done.

    Now, this can certainly denote something negative. However there is actually a positive side:
    "Procrastination not only leads to the exploration of random disciplines, but sitting around doing nothing is also one of the best ways to come up with new ideas."

    I am certainly not advocating procrastination. However, I suppose if you procrastinate for a few hours or, perhaps at most, 24 hours, maybe you will come up with an idea to 'think' the laundry, dishes, etc to take care of themselves. But, don't let your mother come and see that your idea didn't work!

    You nearly got me!

    Um… I’m still seeing an its/it’s mistake… It should be “It’s like its own paradox” – similarly in the actual image, “1. Its own creation” :) “its” is when ‘it’ is owning whatever comes after it.

    Apologies for Nazi-ing :/

    “This chart explains it is/has own creation”? that don’t make no sense,effendi.
    me thinking you mighting to be meaning: “This chart explains its own creation”.

  11. jkono29

    Still two it's/its errors. And… a your/you're. :-|

  12. Grammatical Nazist

    >it's

    aw come on man!

  13. O.K.

    Pure genius… as an Ode to Procrastination!

  14. rosscott

    Are you sure?

  15. Snark

    They’re not sure! It’s correct as it is currently… “its” then “you’re” in the comic, and “it’s” then “its” in the description :D
