But I'm not. At least not yet.
(Pause)
I've been accused of being a "Grammar Nazi". But I'm not. I use "Filipinisms" a lot ("CR", "push through", "fetch"), confuse my metaphors, and botch my sentence construction. The previous sentence is a case in point.
Okay, so my Facebooks statuses (stati?) often deal with absurd grammatical errors which I often overhear or am forced to pay attention to. I, however, don't go around correcting people's grammar at the drop of hat. I guess it just irritates me when people speak to me in English, attempting to use the old "I speak English therefore I am superior" attitude (which is annoying enough on its own) and then go ahead and say something like this while looking down their nose at me:
"You know we should continue with it, irregardless of whether they will marked it or not."
Just typing that made me roll my eyes. Twice.
Okay, so I'm done ranting. Back to work!
