i have my quirks. i enjoy writing in all lower case letters, and i dont pay much attention to apostrophes and so forth,
and i should. admittedly. this: "... and I don't pay much attention", looks ever-so-more-professional than this: "and i dont pay much attention".... and i accept that about myself. i sharpen up when it's necessary.

BUT. i try to never misspell something, unless i think it's going to be really funny,
AND- i never EVER use incorrect grammar... hopefully... i think...
if i do, you all are so afraid of my grammar wrath by now that you don't dare tell me...

i think if i could give myself a nickname, it would surely be grammar snob.
i don't see it as a bad thing. i see it as a glorious triumph of the human spirit.
whilst perusing facebizzle today, i saw some things that really got my proverbial juices flowing;
so i thought i'd take this opportunity to once again REAM the human race for all its worth and in the process-
give myself an exalted sense of worth and purpose, no matter how unjustified that crap is... at.

Grammar Snob.

1. if you spell "where" as "wear"; we have a problem. 

2. if you think "a lot" is spelled "alot"; we have a problem.

3. chose one: "your so funny",  "you're so funny", "you are SO funny". if you chose the first one; we have a problem.

4. choose one: "while i was at the store",  "whilst in the store". if you chose the first one, we have a different sense of grammatical humour. I SAID IT: HUMOUR. it's right somewhere...

5. say this word out loud: recognize. if you pronounced it "wreckaniiiiiize", we have a problem.

6. choose one: "hi mom, it's agamemnon. where you at?", "hi mom, it's agamemnon. where are you?" if you chose the first one, or even hesitated for a FRACTION of a split hair- we have a gigantic problem.


it's not hard people. 
speak appropriately: make friends.
speak inappropriately: have people write blogs about how much they hate you on the internet.

sincerely,
grammar snob.
