I Confess I Am A Grammar Nazi

@YukikoAmagi Definitely. 😉

@DarkHeaven 😂😂 😘💋💋

@TexChik Luv ewe two. Their’s raisons we no too use certain words. I thunk so anyweighs.

@YukikoAmagi 😊

@TexChik ...of course.

@CountScrofula I've received messages that didn't even look like English....or any other language I could think of.
My ego might be big, I admit. I'll usually try to correct myself if I see I'm wrong, but I still have confidence because I spent so many years learning and using it. Also, whenever I lack confidence, I take a look at an American movie with lots of argot. If they can speak like that, I can speak like this. On the other hand...we're losing our beloved Grammar.

@Melpomene Well, our beloved grammar is changing. Every generation bemoans what the next one is doing to language. Dictionaries and style guides describe rather than define. If everyone uses a word that's not in the dictionary, it will end up in the dictionary.

The most important thing is to impart your meaning clearly. Is the idea in your head received in the way you want it to be received? Grammar gives us rules we're all trained on (to varying degrees) to ensure that happens.

@CountScrofula I understand that and I know it's inevitably. But which way will our beloved grammar go? Losing punctuation, bad spelling, abbreviations.. What will be left of it? Only dictionaries and some ''old'' books, from the times people used to write on a piece of paper instead of typing?
And that time isn't so near. Most of people are still using it. Just not on the internet. 😤

@helenS those people are pretty obvious , and I admire those who are actually multi-lingual . It’s those who were poorly educated or just lazy in their writing that bug me .

@helenS English is my second language as well, but everyone understood what I wrote. Not to mention I use it only online, whereas lots of native speakers and those that can hear it around are still making stupid mistakes.

@Melpomene Yeah. Being silly with play on words. 😉

@DarkHeaven Cute ^^

@Melpomene 🖤🤗

@FreeSpirit1 "who" can only be used to refer to people, while "that" refers to things and people. So yes, it can be that.

@YukikoAmagi hablo* if it's 1st, singular. But it's okay if you're still learning and correcting yourself

@Melpomene still a long way to go 😀

@YukikoAmagi It's never easy to learn something new, and English and Spanish aren't very similar. Just keep working on it!
¡Suerte!

@SW-User There's a big difference between a typo and a complete neglect of grammar.
