me: (out shopping, looking all fly with my Marvel comics tote bag featuring several characters)
dude: nice bag.
me: thanks. (keeps on shopping)
dude: do you even know who all those characters are?
me: uh... yeah?
dude: ok then, who's that guy? (points at a character on the bag)
me:
me: wait, are you asking me to prove that I'm enough of a fan enough to carry this bag?
dude: (smirks) that's what I thought. He's called the Silver Surfer. I bet you don't even know his real name.
me: does it matter? (starts to edge away before I start punching throats)
dude: psh, you're not a real fan.

dude: uh... what?
me: explain the function of cellular mitosis?
dude:
me: what is the purpose of myelin sheath with regards to the formation of new neural pathways?
dude: what are you even talking about?
me: oh, well it seemed that you were implying that if I don't know as much about the Marvel universe as you do, then I can't possibly be considered a real fan. This is me implying that because you don't know as much about the human body as I do, you can't possibly be considered a real human being.

student: can i borrow a pencil
teacher: i don't know, CAN you?
student: yes, also colloquial irregularities occur frequently in any language and since you and the rest of our present company understood my intended meaning being particular about the distinctions between "can" and "may" is purely pedantic and arguably pretentious
This needs to be said
Okay: Having a favorite member of a band and it being the lead singer.
Not Okay: Disrespecting the other band members.
Okay: Knowing only one song by the band
Not Okay: Claiming you are their "biggest fan".
Okay: Expressing that you think a band member is attractive.
Not Okay: OMGZZZ LEMME HAVE YOUR BABIEZZZ. FUCKKK MEE BABYY.
Okay: Not particularly liking a band member's love interest.
Not Okay: Sending him/her hate messages.
Okay: Not liking a band.
Not Okay: Harassing the people who do like the band for no reason.
Last thing: If someone's favorite song happens to be one of the more popular songs by the band, that does not make them any less of a fan. King For A Day, Weightless, Second & Sebring...(for example) are all incredible songs. If they weren't, then they wouldn't be singles. Don't say that someone isn't a "real fan" because they like one of those songs the best.
