so lame, I’m ashamed that I’m laughing at it.
Also, split infinitive: “to finally meet”.
Also, “really”
I am the psychotic Grammar Nazi of whom your parents warned…
This WINs so hard!
This ^
You’re all grammar jews
I Nazi-lolled
“My friend and I are real glad to finally meet you.” is not correct grammar.
“My friend and I am real glad to finally meet you” would be correct.
No. “My friend and I” is a stand-in for “We” and it’s “We are”, so “are” is correct. It would only be “am” if “I” were the only subject, but it’s not. Subject/verb agreement. That’s a bingo.
Are you people serious.
Sad, isn’t it?
Yes, speaking coherently is sad.
Of course, consider our venue, I suppose…
You forgot the question mark.
Lol! That’s the only thing I’ve read on this page that actually made me laugh! Good one!
Actually, in that case he does not need a question mark.
In correct. “My friend and I,” together, is “we,” and when conjugated properly, the verb is “are” as in “we are.”
In addition, you still have a split infinitive, so the version that you stated as “correct” is actually more incorrect than the original.
Incorrect*
Also ‘more incorrect’ should be ‘less correct’ xD
You’re all wrong. There are no degrees of correctness. It either is or isn’t. Like unique. And complete.
Penis
“real glad” is also incorrect, as real has to be an adverb, so “really glad” is correct.
Thus, “My friend and I are really glad to meet you finally” or some variant of it is correct.
Hang the grammar, no one speaks like that from day to day
And that’s coming from a grammar nazi
FML
I can’t believe no one has mentioned that “real glad” should be “really glad,” as real is an adjective and really is an adverb.
Gah!
I guess someone *did*. :/
it’s a BINGO!
Like that! ;D
The guy’s expression is what makes it for me.Total =D
Same!
First one I laughed at since the I.B./Twilight mixing.
Christoph Waltz made that movie; his expressions were flawless!

cause it’s not funny
Ah I love this double-jokes. And his expression is brilliant to boot!
The dude on the left might as well go ahead and tattoo “The Office” on his forehead, because that’s all that I think of whenever I see his face.
No, no, he was an American. It’s the *other* guy who wound up getting stuff on his forehead (though I guess technically it wasn’t a tattoo)…
Truly a remarkable concept – made my day. Too bad for the Microsoft Paint-ish quality of the image, though. I tried my hands on a visually improved version; http://i49.tinypic.com/dxeb9e.jpg
Still, kudos to the maker!
“Real glad” is correct but not “common usage” both real and glad are acting on “my friend and I” which are nouns.
Real is an adjective. If you were using “really” then it would have to be “gladly” because they are both adverbs and they would be acting on “to meet” but that doesn’t make any sense at all.
Still “real glad” sounds stupid.
No, “real” is acting on “glad”, not on the verb (regardless of whether it is used correctly or not) Otherwise you’d be making the phrase “we are real to meet you” which is, as you say, stupid. “Real” is descibing the degree to which they are glad, not describing the way they meet.
yikes!
