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

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.
Funny! "For all intensive purposes" is one of my pet peeves, along with "should of"/"could of." What do those even mean?
Personally, one of my biggest pet peeves is "irregardless" It makes my eye twitch!
LOL I actually heard a story about my grandad yelling at someone for saying "irregardless". It makes me laugh every time!0 -
and let me add alot and a lot... if you would't write alittle then don't write (type) alot...0

I agree!
But... :blushing: I also love the icanhascheezburger.com.
Me too.0 -
Ahhh you people make my special parts tingle.
Yes, obvious errors make my eye twitch. I used to jokingly make the grammar nazi correction, but people would raise such a ruckus, I stopped. But if your post looks like Merriam-Webster literally vomited words on the screen with a jumble of run-on sentences, I won't bother.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.
My mom made me a grammar nerd. She corrected EVERYONE'S grammar! In public. Loudly. If you didn't want her to embarrass you, you had better get ir right!0 -
Hello. My name is ********, and I am a grammar nerd. I am also in favor of proper spelling and punctuation.0

I agree!
But... :blushing: I also love the icanhascheezburger.com.
YES! I love icanhascheezburger.com.
Has anyone else noticed themselves questioning their own grammar after seeing the same mistakes over and over? For instance, I have to question myself sometimes with "you're/your" because they're used incorrectly so often. :grumble:0 -

My biggest pet peeve is when people tell me "Your welcome" in an email. I always want to reply: "My welcome what????"0

I do my best with spelling and grammar. Computers and texting have killed spelling, grammar and handwriting.0

My BOSS, who is the Director of our department, has HORRIBLE grammar and spelling! It's atrocious and embarrassing! I'm not always 100% accurate but, if I'm unsure, I will look it up when it's important.0

This is fantastic. I have had this conversation so many times over the course of the last couple of years. Texting and the internet is dumbing down our society. It's bad enough when people use poor grammar online and in texts, but I cringe when coworkers send emails using things such as LOL, u instead of you, r instead of are, or 2 instead of two. Additionally, I am irked when I see texting language in ads around the city. In my opinion, it's not trendy and hip to spell lazily. I do not want to buy a product more because the marketers are talking down to me and using sideways smiley faces in the ads when they could quite easily use upright smiley faces or, Allah willing, an actual face that isn't a colon and a parenthesis.
Long live Grammar! Let's start a revolution!0 -
Grammer & Spelling were surely the Hollywood dream-team of the 90s that never was! :noway:
I'm sure there was a pitch for Seattle 98102 that's lying unread in someone's drawer.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:
I don't mind typos either. But nothing gets me more than an obviously fake "It was a typo!" reply to pointing out multiple spelling and grammatical errors.

A member of my staff once called me "The Comma Queen" due to my habit of adding missing commas into our press releases etc. and sent me a whole e-mail full of nothing but pages of commas saying "Surely you must have run out of them by now!" and as you can see I have.
(Okay, that was almost physically painful to write, and it's going to be even worse to hit "post reply"...)0 -
I LOVE this! I just quit teaching English in April, so this is near and dear to my heart .0
