“Being a grammar snob is overrated. I am a grammar expert, but I refuse to be a grammar snob anymore. No one really needs to use perfect grammar on Twitter. It’s not actually worth cutting your friends and family off every five seconds to try and get them to speak perfect English (trust me, I’ve read the CMS front to back, and none of us speak a ‘perfect’ English).”

So over at Book Riot, I collected a list of amazing merch, gifts, and items meant for grammar lovers—lovers, not snobs—people obsessed with our lovely, constantly shifting and changing language. For the word nerds.

Whenever I read the wrong form of "there" in a sentence it screams out to me. Like when I'm reading it to myself I mentally perceive it in a different tone of voice.

Grammar

Why is it so hard for people to use grammar? Seriously! It won't kill you! (Unless I end up killing you for bugging me constantly with your lack of grammar.) I hate seeing people use text talk or incorrect punctuation or lack of capitalization, etc. Respect the English language, PLEASE. If you talk to me constantly with bad grammar... I am not responsible for my actions. (Which will probably be excessive correcting of every misspelled word you type to me. Hint: This happens even more when I am angry or annoyed, especially if it is you I am annoyed or angry with.) Listen to Word Crimes by Weird Al, since /he/ knows what I'm talking about.

I met Ian online. He spelled everything so well – I said to myself: "This is the man for me." We spent most of our first chat talking grammar. I knew I wanted to see him again.
