Grammar? It is, currently. the Only reason, "This is unreadable."

Welcome to the useless blog #2. I'll be honest, I actually quite enjoy blogging and actually believing that someone is actually reading this.

Anyway, I'm a Grammar Nazi. Whenever I see a mistake, I just get the urge to correct. It pains me to withhold myself from correcting the grammar. I always have been very good at English at school. You'd very commonly see me get awards for my success in English for the past few years. This leads to bad habits though.

(Exaggerated writing incoming)
You see, when you see a mistake, you get this uneasy feeling on the inside. You hold it in, but then you feel like crying. Your lips feel like opening, but you are forcing them shut. You see their used in the wrong context, and you start getting an agitation. You open your mouth and say it. Say the word that will piss everyone off and accuse you of being the socially pitied title of 'Grammar Nazi'.

You see, we 'Grammar Nazis' don't enjoy correcting other people. It just comes out. We were born this way and we can't change it.

Still, why does everyone hate a Grammar Nazi. You can treat it as doing the internet a favour by educating the vast majority of pre-pubescent boys living in their parents basement and helping them with their grammar. While I am a CoD hater through and through, I clicked on this video expecting me to shed tears and crawl up in a ball and rock myself to sleep:

You see, this video just shows how uneducated children are. At that age, I was getting 70/70 on the South Australian spelling test, a rather difficult test at that year level, and a lot of other people were scoring low 60s, high 50s.

Granted, English isn't as useful in life as maths, but it's necessary that people actually know their own language well.

This was a pretty pointless rant, but whatever. Hope you did actually pay some intention to this post while reading it. Good night.
