How to Grammar Nazi: A Master Class.

I laughed at the threatening Tweet telling me “Your dead” and mockingly replied “My dead what?”.

I realised that their grammar was actually correct when they tweeted back a photo—of my dead family.

Le lingue si evolvono, grazie anche a quello che, alcuni, chiamano errore; è più importante il concetto rispetto al mezzo espressivo: di ciò era cosciente lo stesso José Saramago, così quanto Enrico Brizzi (entrambi, hanno prodotto, volutamente, testi che vanno contro il canone letterario); per comprendere questo, è necessaria una visione macroscopica delle questioni, nonché una maggiore propensione alla socievolezza - che i grammar nazi, nella loro limitatezza culturale, non hanno.

Fey: May I have your name?

Me: You can't "have" my name but I can tell you it.

Fey: I uh....*sighs in defeat* Nevermind.

Outsmart the fey by being a Grammar Nazi.

Anachronisms in modern media

Just listened to an otherwise really good podcast (Bridgewater, if you're interested) that had a glaring (for me) anachronism: a character from the 1980s says "based off of."

Nobody from the 80s would have said that, and not just because it's a fucking stupid turn of phrase that some dumb teenager in 1992 made up. It's because nobody said that in the 80s. Based on. That's the closest thing a person in the 80s would have said

VISCOUS - THICK LIQUID THAT YOU CAN'T POUR QUICKLY

VICIOUS - SPITEFUL, MALICIOUS, SAVAGE, FEROCIOUS

SO IF YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEONE'S "VISCOUS SMILE" I'M GOING TO BE PICTURING THE HORRIFYING SPECTACLE OF SOMEONE'S MOUTH TURNING TO A GOOPY SYRUP THAT SLOWLY DRIPS OFF THEIR FACE

THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARES

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

<Taps Mic> Ehem.

A verb form already exists for “try.” Stop this madness.

I am convinced that young millennials and Gen z only look for the red underline as a grammar check and that’s why they think they’re apart of something instead of actually being a part of something.
