1 - Man, that dude's Rysisim made our chat lame.....caramba!!

2- Hey,man, skip that Rysism and let me babble how I want!

Origin:

The name of this irritating malady derives from the name of an EC chatter who cannot refrain himself from correcting all sorts of mistakes made in the chat.

Quick Quizz: 

Rysism refers to:

1 -  Cheerful chatting with others.

2 -  Irrisistable need to correct even the slightest mistake in grammar or spelling.

3 -  Claustrophobic behaviour in crowded chatrooms.

4 -  Whatever.

  • Heyy ryyyyssssss, 

    The answer is second one :p

    Great blog describing "Da rysperski"

  • Does that mean I'm having rysism issue?

  • Hahaha :D That is a great disease, Rys! 

    But you didn't mention the sources of causing and spreading (how do people get sick with this disease) that disease. And how to cure yourself from it :)

    Btw, don't you want to tell us, how you get sick of this disease? :)

  • :) it's great to have such a disease :)

  • Oi Mohammad, 

       Please be kind to remember that Emperors, Dictators and a couple of other persons don't have to abide to the rules governing the commons.......

  •      It seems that a rysist person who is over-sensitive about grammar and spelling issues (for others), firstly must care the writing rules in his/her writing form grammatical and/or vocabular points of view, right ??     

    But, what about the situation that a rysist, used to write "oi" instead of "hi", "da" instead of "the", "ya" instead of "you", "wid" instead of "with" and so on !!?   caramba :D    

    Does it mean that the rysism person is going to be cured from mentioned disease !? or the other aspects of disease are going to appear !?   or otherthings    :D  (kidding)

    I would like to thank and appreciate you for your all corrections, and generously answering EC members, keep your way. 

    Cheers  

  • Oi lovely Chatterboxes,

      Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and leaving all those cute comments. The mere toying with the tought that my blog would evoke such an animated interest seemed as unimaginable as the blue moon. My macho vanity has been tickled to the outmost limits.

       Milady, your derivant from that rare disease seems to have solid grammatical grounds. Besides rysiperstic, there could also be an adverb to define the manner how "rysperstic" activity is carried out...but I dare not name that part of speech as I do not want to sound too egocentric.

      Desire, nope, rysism won't cure u of rysperski syndrom as u r 100% immune to it, once you catch it...you are done...but do not worry, contrary to Ebola and HIF, the person affected with it kick the bucket with a blissful smile.

  • Rys, you let your disease flourish and take full hold of you :))))))))))))) I had a slight fit of rysism but got cured after I had noticed that corrections aren't welcomed by most members of EC.

    Wonderful blog, Rys!!

  • So I must say I cotract Rysism disease too. i am so concerned about pronounciation and grammar. 

  • I see!  Your name reveals more of your personality, Milord!

    I think I won't be affected by that rare disease since I don't care whether my grammar is correct or incorrect at all.  As long as I can understand people, I go with the flow.  

    Is rysperstic the adjective form of rysism? lol
