Oh Write, I Have a Blog (pun intended)

Grammar.

I love it, I hate it, it makes me twitch.  Mostly, other people's improper use of the English language makes me writhe in agony.  I admit, I make my own mistakes when it comes to what's correct and what isn't, but seriously people, WHAT THE HELL.

Maybe it's my private school background that left me with the ability to discern the differences between to/too/two, their/they're/there, its/it's, and your/you're.  Or maybe, just maybe, the rules aren't that effing difficult, and anyone with half a brain has learned said differences before the age of 12.


The whole shorthand texting thing also puts a real thorn in my side.  Honestly, how difficult is it to type out whole words?  I don't know about all of y'all, but trying to read some of those damned shorthand texts takes a friggin long time.  Takes more thought to type that way too, if you ask me...


There's no real point to this post.  I just needed to rant for a moment.  


The end.

  1. I hate when I am texting someone and they start throwing in "ur" and other shit like that. I know the phone will predict what word you are going to use and that using the real word is not any harder.

    2. Impressive. I was betting on a solid 10, but I had also mentally factored in 2 snack breaks and at least one impromptu dance party.
