As a grammar Nazi, I often comfort people with "there, they're, their". I may pat them on the back, as well.0

I'm in love with grammar.
Is that even legal ?!
Oh wait, you said grammar....0 -
Grammer and spelling, for all intensive purposes, are important life skills with no acceptions to the rule, even though we are here to loose alot of weight we should still take it into consternation.0

I like the distinction between the two.
I also tell my kids, "First impressions are important, but what comes out of your mouth leaves an indelible mark."
I have a feeling that i will be using this, too. Our son is 3, and I stay on top of him about how he forms his sentences. And, the best thing- he is using the right forms thus far!0 -
I'm feeling too much social anxiety to make a grammatically correct post.0

My grammar and spelling suck on websites. I love an ellipse, an exclamation point and an LOL. And btw, I actually do LOL as often as I type it. So if that annoys you, you would truly be annoyed by me. I really can spell and form a complete sentence however I am often in a hurry here trying to get to my 783rd post so I make typos or allow my "dumb phone" to pretend it is smart.0

You are simply amazing! I am a Grammar Nazi and I am proud to admit it. :happy:0

Do you realize how many people say "intensive purposes"? Hysterical.0 -
I agree!
But... :blushing: I also love the icanhascheezburger.com.0 -
Policeman: Is your mummy home?
Boy: No she ain't.
Policeman: Is your daddy home?
Boy: No he ain't.
Policemen: Your mummy ISN'T home, your daddy, ISN'T home. Where's your grammar?
Boy: She's watching TV but she's deaf.0 -

LOVE IT! I'm a total grammar nerd (but also a huge victim of my not-so smartphone's annoying auto-correct efforts).0

Grammar and spelling are essential to communicate what you really mean. For example, take this sentence.
Today I helped my uncle Jack off his horse.
A comma placed either before Jack or after, changes the meaning entirely.0 -

Admittedly, when I am on my phone, I am not as stringent in my proofreading. I tend to skip words and fail to double check what my phone has automatically inserted.
But in a business setting, my grammar will be impeccable.

Love it! And I understand the shortcuts in texting, but I always try to use full spelling and grammar in texts as well. Otherwise, how are you going to teach other people? : )0
-
Problem is, the person you're texting doesn't know if you are smart or the phone is dumb : ) Or vice-versa.0

Grammar: The difference between knowing your **** and knowing you're ****.0

Excellent. :flowerforyou:0

I am from the south and I can tell you that we will never get rid of "ain't" no matter how hard people make us try.:laugh:
Other than that, I correct grammar.0 -
I fully admit to my grammar nazi tendencies. I can understand all the abbreviation usage typing a text. In business, email or posts they become incredibly annoying. If I need a decoder to figure out what someone is trying to say, I am no longer interested. Typos <or typographical errors> don't make me crazy. Poorly constructed sentences, lack of punctuation and constant misuse of words just feel like a sharp stick in my brain.
My name is Alicia and I'm a judgmental grammar nerd :blushing:0 -

Funny! "For all intensive purposes" is one of my pet peeves, along with "should of"/"could of." What do those even mean?0 -

Personally, one of my biggest pet peeves is "irregardless" It makes my eye twitch!0 -
Grammar Nerds R Us!
I am a loud, proud, flamboyant grammar nerd, and my parents have always been very supportive. However, I realize that I'm lucky. Not all grammar nerds received such acceptance from their parents.0 -
I'm not the sharpest pencil on the desk.
I appreciate being corrected...just be nice about it.
I'm sensitive and hungry!!!0 -
