I am not trying to be a grammer-nazi.. but this has been eating at me for a couple of years.. and you are the unfortunate soul that got my pretty pic (first, and probably last time I will do this.. I will prolly get flamed for it) ;~)

Apologies.. just wanted to make a point, not just to you, but many others that make the same mistake..

BTW, I understood what you said, and I wholeheartedly agree.

I’ve never seen a better grammar graphic then that. Than again, I haven’t seen many grammar graphics at all.

I couldn’t care less. I’m not thinking about tiny bits of spelling minutiae like yourself.

Now go put your little tinhorn spelling badge away and go to bed so you can make in to your 5th grade class in the morning.

You always get that kind of crap when you try to help someone with grammar or spelling.

It baffles me, really. You’d think they’d just say “thank you” and move on.

If my fly were open, I’d want someone to tell me, but when someone is making making himself look uneducated with bad grammar or misspelling, he reacts to assistance...well, as you saw here.

‘prolly’ = ignorant ‘word’ substituted for ‘probably.’

[Sorry, you were asking for that one! Yes, ‘prolly’ is a pet peeve of mine.]

PS Loved the picture. I’m stealing it.

English was always my favorite subject in school. I am sure I was taught this but always ready for a review of proper English and what a cute graphic to make it live!

My mother and mother in law were both English majors in college. I have had these types of lessons my whole life, thank you!

I’m sorry, but “hrnngggggg blorch” is misspelled. It should only have six G’s. You used seven.
