The Grammatically Elite.
I have an annoying habit. I correct people's grammar mistakes in my head, both written and verbal. I'd be thinking as i read someone's reply on msn, that the sentence should have read, "You should have gone!" instead of "You should have went!", and how come you cant tell the difference!!! Of course, i dont actually tell them, "Eh! It should be 'will', not 'would' leh! Because, you see, it's the present tense you should use now since it's happening in the present. 'Would' is used when refering to past events." If so, I think i will have no friends in 3 days. My annoying habit annoys me because why am i being so elitist!? So sick. If that's the way people are then that's the way it is la! Why must everyone speak the King's English just to please my royal behind? I slip up sometimes and spew some ungrammatical English. Even these things i feel a burning desire to correct. Like, oh man! Please la, it's the royal behind now who made the mistake! How now brown cow? I dont know. |
