Re: Allow me to be a grammer nazi for a while
 
While we're on the subject, I know most teachers tell us that "aint" is not a word. "Ain't" is a word; it's a contraction made up of the words "am" and "not". Amn't just doesn't sound right. "Ain't" is not proper grammar but it is a word.

You should see some wine boards, I can never explain how people spending hundreds of dollars on a bottle of wine can't tell the difference between palate and pallet.

Because being able to spend/spending hundreds on a bottle of wine doesn't require intelligence?

Thread drift.

Actually, intelligence IS required, IMO. Price has nothing to do with quality. Same as with cigars and any other consumer product.

Back to the thread now.

My brother likes to talk about his "most favoritest <insert topic here>". I like to think/hope that he is just doing that to annoy us, but I'm not sure.

Does it really have to matter in a forum such as this one?


:confused:

Believe me, I'm there with the OP. Poor grammar is just rampant, and not just in schools.
Ask a High School teacher...it's BAD.

Even at work I see people TYPE just as they speak. No difference. As a result, work from our office can seem completely unprofessional.

Don't people know you write in a different manner than you speak?
Of course ideally we should all speak proper grammar...something I have started to attempt.
Some people think it makes you sound pompous....I prefer the term "educated"

I was thinking of what to post, and went through a list in my head.
A) Nope.
B) Nope.
C) Nope.
D) Nope.
E) Ugly.
Therefore, I will not post in this thread. (Except for this one recounting my dilemma. :tu)
