Some of you may say “no” well, my response is that yes, I very well can. My brilliant intellect far outweighs that of everyone else’s. Let’s just say that superiority is not for the majority. However, a minority of us is superior. Classical is refined and proper, just like being superior is. Let me tell you, Mozart’s Requiem is one of the best pieces of classical you’ll ever find. I’ve even sung at Carnegie Hall. I’ve also read Dante Aligheri’s The Divine Comedy and it was one of my favorite books. I’ve had straight A’s for eight years in a row. I also know the longest word in the English language, antidisestablishmentarianism.

I dare you to try to best my grandness that I have achieved, for I am able to do anything better than you.
I bet I could kick your a** a lot harder than you could kick mine. I bet I could install a hard drive faster, too. A laptop hard drive, even.

*To Everyone* This is my entry to a contest for Gaian Elitism Week
Oh yeah? Come war driving with me. You have to make your own friggin antene, though, I'm not going to wipe your nose for you too.

*Edit* I honestly was starting to wonder if this was serious or not. xD

Eh, perhaps I am above war driving 3nodding
*Edit* I had you fooled huh?
One would think that an elitism competition wouldn't be down with just another recitation of tripe that's meant to be 'cultured'.

Seriously. Stereotype much? Innovation, please. Come on, Chica, even for a stupid contest, you can do better than this. Think what makes you awesome because it's so goddamn YOU.

Perhaps I really am that cultured and it does make me ME. I was listening to Bach as I wrote this so it was my inspiration
Taking off my ban on replying to these things to let you know that antidiestablishmentarianism is not, in fact, the longest word in the English language. Its pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovelcaniconiosis. A lung disease coal miners get. j00 has now been educated. Be grateful.

...does this make me superior to you? confused
Then you'd better have more of a voice than another brat whining about how she's so cultured because she likes Dante and gets ~straight As~, eh?

Straight As aren't a measure of how good you are. They're a measure of whether you're down with the system. And yeah, I'm saying this as someone with quite a few As and quite a few Bs.

If'n your presentation of yourself isn't garnering the right response, you'd better change the presentation.
Meh, it's okay. Suggestions: Be as concise as possible. Every sentence should be a complete sentence. You want to come across sounding as smart as possible, so use big words and perfect grammar. "Big words" does not include antidisestablishmentarianism, because it really isn't impressive at all. So what, you know a word. Can you use it and words like it in a sentence, and do you use them regularly? (It's also not the longest word in the English language; the largest commonly used one, perhaps.) Don't use contractions at all. Avoid the passive (the verb "to be" wink . Don't end sentences with verbs.

I would encourage you to rewrite this, keeping in mind your main points: you listen to and sing classical music, you read and genuinely enjoy classic works of literature, and you achieve perfect grades in school. Point these out fluently but quickly. That will give you space to add in more traits or whatever that make you awesomer than the rest of us.

I looked that up on dictionary.com and wikipedia and I didn't get any hits on it...

You guys are pretty harsh, it's pretty funny.

Though I have to kinda thank Baethan Ascio for her kind suggestions. I'm sure they may have a purpose in the future.
I knew how to spell onomatopoeia when i was....6. razz on my own, thanxverymuch.

Well, my essay may not be the greatest, but it's definitely inspired Gaian Elitism... Everyone is trying to be better than me. xd
I liked this post. wtf is wrong with you people? Crimeinately, some of you will jump on someone's a** for anything.
Here's some proofreading feedback:

The very first sentence bothered me. I think it should be rewritten: Some of you may say, "No." Well, my response is that, yes, I very well can.

I think the phrase, "outweighs that of everyone else's" is grammatically incorrect; 'that of' shows possession, so the possessive "else's" should be changed to "else". Thus, the correct phrase would be, "outweighs that of everyone else."

"However, a minority of us is superior" sounded really awkward to me, but I'm not sure how to change it.

I was taught by my dad that you should not use a preposition at the end of a sentence; however, in my English 101 class I learned that the aforementioned rule was not officially adopted into the English language. But if we abide by that rule, the phrase, "just like being superior is" should not end with 'is,' as that word is a preposition.

That's all I'll leave for grammar. As for content, I would strongly advise that you create more of a flow between ideas. I know it's hard to do when you only have 150 words, but a smooth essay better captures a reader's attention. I think you should leave out that The Divine Comedy was one of your favorites, because your interests and favorites do not prove superiority. Also, people who have never read that book probably won't be convinced.

I also know that word, antidisestablishmentarianism. I read it out of a Babysitters Club book when I was 11. It's a long word, but I don't think it's the longest.

I'm not sure you'd be better than me or anyone else at anything, but we'll put that potential discussion aside for another time wink
