So at one point in the film "Up In The Air", George Clooney is texting his booty call and she asks what he's doing.
He replies "just LAYING here"

AHAHAAHA lol lol learn 2 english, George

don't blame him, he didn't write the script.

okay, then consider this post redirected to the screenwriter, their editor, and the character himself

>> No.518558

It could be intentional. The phrase, "Just lying here" is unfortunately a double entendre. Thus, the screen writer might have chosen "lay" for clarity.

But yes, bad grammar is bad.

First of all, who gives a fuck about grammar in text messages?
A douche is who.

Secondly, /lit/ - Television and Film

That would have been clever and ironic, actually.

If I took this to /tv/, they would point me here, or make a similar comment to yours.
You know this is the right board for this observation.

>> No.518585

People are often grammatically incorrect in dialogue, and that includes conversations through texting, IMing, etc.

Stop being a fucking douche.
