Seriously!

I totally overuse the word seriously. Seriously! I seriously use it all the time. But, seriously, sometimes it is necessary. Recently, I have been mulling this word over in my head as it relates to a multitude of situations. See for yourself :-)

• While listening to the weather forecast each morning, I realize that the weatherman gets paid to say the same thing every day. "Today's forecast, highs in the 90's, with the heat index in the 'danger zone', chance of showers." Seriously! Every day, he says the same thing. And gets paid for it. 
• And on another related weather note, why don't the weather forecasters make use of the phrase "partly moony". Always "partly cloudy" or "partly sunny" but never, ever "partly moony". Seriously, weatherman? 
• And now a SERIOUSLY?!?! Does every picture on Facebook have to be a girl who is doing the following pose? 

Special thanks to our good friend for this one! 

Seriously, girls? This is what you want to look like? You realize that in 5 years, you will look back at these and be so embarrassed that ALL of your photos look like this. I mean, seriously, you want me to believe that this is just a natural pose? 

• And another seriously! As if this pose weren't enough, why do you insist on taking a picture of yourself in a mirror? I don't want to see your camera, or worse, your cell phone in your picture. Follow along closely here. Stand in front of the mirror, but turn your phone around. Now use your mirror to look into the screen of your phone or camera, and smile (don't smirk or pout). Then snap that bad daddy and behold! No tacky photo of your phone! Seriously! This isn't rocket science! 
• Seriously, I have said this one before, but it bears repeating. Grammar is our friend. Your is not interchangeable with you're. Effect does not mean the same as affect. And then does not mean than. They're going over there to their tent. See that? That is how these words are to be used. Seriously,  grammar!

See that? Seriously, seriously can be worked into a number of topics. I love it. No, seriously, I do:-)
