Why are you always chasing after me?

I've got fed up with you.

Why me?

There're tons of attractive women out there.

Just leave me alone.

Stay away from me.

Don't touch me.

And don't bite me, mosquitoes!

Because I like the smell of a salty peach!

Thank you for your correction!

  • I didn't know you prefer salty rather than sweet(y).:P

You should get a boyfriend who can beat them up.

  • There are tons of attractive women out there. (Contractions are completely fine to use, but I find this one a little strange. Contractions are supposed to make things easier to say, but in the case of "there're", it's actually harder... which is probably why I almost never see anyone use this one.)

 

I never thought I could call myself もてもて until reading your entry. Thanks. :)

Ah, nobody would believe me anyway...

Thank you for your correction!

  • Thank you for your explanations.

    So do you mean that contractions should be used for only colloquial usage not for writing? Does it fit into every case?

  • My pleasure. I'm (I am?) glad I have a もてもて company.

    Oh, I believe you, definitely. You look so yummy with that full-body suit.:P

  • No, no, that's not what I mean. It's completely fine to use in writing. :) I know there are some people that don't like contractions in writing, but I'm not one of them.

    What I meant was that "there're" isn't really a recognized contraction. Nearly no one uses "there're" (at least from my experience). It sounds more like a weird regional accent or something to me. Maybe like the Southern US? I don't know.

    The common ones like "it's", "can't", "wouldn't", "I'm", etc. are all fine. Don't be afraid to use those. :)

  • And that's the first time I've been called "yummy"... (>_<) It'll probably also be the last. :P

  • I got it, thanks. I didn't know >"there're" isn't really a recognized contraction. Actually, I did use many times in my writing.

    You never know who maybe call you "yummy" in the future. ;)
