    Affect vs effect: this is something that I correct in manuscripts all the time. Scientists seem to have our very own and special usage of the English language. I always thought it was completely unacceptable to use "we" in a formal paper, but "we" do it all the time in scientific journals.

    A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

    'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

    'Well, I'm a panda', he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'

    The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'

    Trending topic on Twitter today is "youknowyouruglyif"

    Someone came up with the perfect tweet:

    RT @hotdogsladies :
    You know your ugly if you're contractions are f***ing killing me. They're. I said it.
