Fun moment in Quentin Tarantino’s waaaaay too long, revenge film DJANGO UNCHAINED:
Django finally dukes it out with an overconfident slave hand Stephen. When Stephen’s staring at the barrel of Django’s gun he says, “I count six shots.”
And he’s right the gun’s not loaded anymore because all shots were fired.
Django replies, “I count 2 guns.”, and pulls out a second equalizer locked and loaded with six more shots.
Ruh-roh so much for overconfidence.
And so it goes.
Put yourself and business out there regularly and “Stephen’s” will talk to you like this. Common naysayers will be “Grammar Nazis”.
What’s fun is they talk a good game and tell you that you’ve made “7 mistakes.”
My response: “I count 2x that.”
See there’s a 100-year-old secret that even the best, well-educated Nazi’s just haven’t learned in that time.
I talk about it in my recent interview on Creative Magic Unchained.
Learn to use it and you’ll always have fun revenge on proud grammar nazi nerds who can’t count, so their opinion doesn’t count either.
Skip to minute 37 for the reveal you can use anytime someone says you’re an awful writer.
