I Hate Being a Grammar Nazi
I despise grammar. All these stupid rules to structure your writing properly. Blah blah blah. I hate the fact that I know all of these ridonculous grammar rules and I hate the fact that I get paid money to enforce them. I also hate the fact that I always notice spelling mistakes. The sign advertising a restaurant’s “Chirstmas” specials last year drove me insane. Every time I drove past that sign I had to resist the urge to park my car and switch the i and the r around. I was very proud of the fact that I did not fix that sign.
It drives me crazy that there are a tonne of spelling mistakes on this blog. I also am guilty of comma abuse. I, like, use, commas, way, too, much. When I finally write my own personal book, that All-Canadian Novel, the editors will bash their heads against their desks thanks to my terrible grammar and comma abuse. I suppose I could learn how to use commas properly but I am not going to. *pout* SO THERE.
I should put a disclaimer on my blog. People should be prepared for the blatant breakage of grammar rules. It isn’t very nice to subject peoples’ fragile minds to all this bad grammar.
WARNING: This blog is guilty of excessive comma use.

If you find signs with grocer’s apostrphes, you can submit them to a certain Flickr group just for that kind of thing. I also use brackets way to much (like right now).
