A grammatical correct sentence in English.

Actually, it isn’t a grammatically correct sentence.  It’s a sentence fragment (which is in fact grammatically correct), containing only the subject: “A ship.”  Add as many adjectives to the subject as you wish, but it remains a sentence fragment until a verb is attained.

There are three ways to fix it while maintaining the joke. It’s implied that the caption is describing the image, in which case one would write: “This is a ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships.” In the sentence, is is a verb.

It’s also possible to make it a sentence while extending the joke even further: “A ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships ships,” in which ‘ships’ is a verb; the ship (shipping shipping ships hsips shpis shiphsp hsp shiphishpshphspisihsihs) is shipping the ships.

Finally, one could change only the third word to achieve the following: A ship ships ship shipping shipping ships.  This is in essence the above example, but with the verb in a different place.  It is, however, a bit more efficient.

Conclusion: this description contains no verb pertaining to the subject, and so is not a sentence.  However, it is, in fact, grammatically correct.

(Also, for best results read the above explanation in the voice of a British butler.)

Casting appreciation gif.

This seriously pisses me off because TWO men of the “correct” ethnicity/race were asked to play the role of Khan. I don’t remember their names because this back when Into Darkness was in casting yo but they BOTH DECLINED.

So there’s a HUGE difference between “well, we asked the best in the business and they both said no, so we should go with another actor of the ‘incorrect’ race who is also very well suited for the role” and doing what the Hunger Games did which is literally only let white girls audition for Katniss. 

When actors decline there is fuckall you can do. It’s shitty, no doubt, that Khan ended up being white, but BC did a great job in the role, while knowing he was third choice. I won’t begrudge him for taking it, and I won’t begrudge the casting crew for going with him after their best actors declined. 

^ Bless.

Don’t you hate it when that happens

God I wish someone would come and accidentally build an awesome bookshelf at my house. I’d make it worth his while.
