A couple of my coworkers have decided to undertake the huge and daunting task of writing a book(s). One each, respectively. They are pretty awesome writers and I'm sure they'll do great. I, however, am making the official announcement as of right this moment that I have decided to NOT write a book.
YAY!
Why, you ask? Well, seeing as I can't even write a blog to save my life, I figure trying to come up with literally TENS of pages of cohesive awesomeness that would even slightly intrigue my would-be reader is most likely outside the scope of my ability. Thus, I shall not write a book.
The only way I could possibly pull something like that off is if I wrote a book of poetry. I hate poetry. I like songs, but that's like poetry with music. Poetry without music is dumb. To me, anyway. You can have your own opinion, but mine is the only one I care about in this particular matter.
So there.
No book, no cry.
No
Book
No

GRAMMAR ALERT: There is a split infinitive at the end of your first paragraph.
You may want to clear that up BEFORE not writing your book...
No. I split my infinitives wherever the crap I want to.
Plus, I put it in all caps, effectively negating the split infinitive.
Holla!
A split infinitive is useful for providing a literary stress effect, in which case this would be a permissible example.
Maybe you should reconsider deciding to NOT [sic] write a book!
The American Heritage® Book of English Usage, A Practical and Authoritative Guide to Contemporary English, and I quote:
"The only rationale for condemning the construction [split infinitive] is based on a false analogy with Latin. The thinking is that because the Latin infinitive is a single word, the English infinitive should be treated as if it were a single unit. But English is not Latin, and people split infinitives all the time without giving it a thought. Should we condemn compound infinitives, such as I want to go and have a look, simply because the infinitive have has no to next to it?"
OK. Thanks for your sense of humor.
grammer is not funny
Neither is grammar, Anonymous. Dang, I schooled all ya'll!
Don't you mean "y'all" (as in "you all") instead of "ya'll" (as in...well, nothing at all)?
I love irony.
It's just a hunch, but I bet anonymous misspelled grammar intentionally.
I love irony.
Humor, too.
