Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

it took me a couple minutes to decide just WHAT my pet peeve is but I think I've got it.

I absolutely can not stand people who use improper grammar, actually, I hate when people use the English language improperly. It's a bit of a disgrace. Especially if you've lived here your whole life! ("here" being Canada... Or America... Or anywhere where English is the primary language.)

For example, I hate when someone comes up to me and says "hey, I seen you at the store the other day! durrp deedurrr!"

No, no, no, my dear playfellow. You did not "seen" anything. And you will definitely not use me as the subject of your stupidity.

It pains me to think of how many people who have failed grade one English. The poor souls. Who will teach them now that they have grown, and their puny brains can no longer fully prossess new information. How is one suppose to unlearn once one has used this language wrongly for so long?

I must admit, however, that although it is a pet peeve, I do love when people do it. I get to correct them, make them feel stupid, and make myself feel smart.

I may complain about stupid people often, but I feel like it may be the complete opposite if only because of the fact that they make me feel so much smarter.

I suppose that's all I really have to say on the matter, so this concludes my blog.

just remember, I'm smarter than you. :P

Apparently not smarter than Ms. Feick though... (see below)

  1. Dear Alenka,
    I agree with you! It is quite annoying.
    And my english teacher this year taught us so many new grammer rules, so basically when anyone talks, I can tell that it is wrong! It sucks!

  2. Holy high horse, Batgirl! :)
    Kidding.
    But, um, watch the sentence fragment ("Especially...) and remember it's English class with a captial E.
    BAM! Ha. That was fun.

  4. I will say bad grammer is annoying, but if someone uses it wrongly and you get to correct it it does make you feel smart. Also saying big words is fun too like for example...Floccinaucinihilipilification...hehe I feel smart. That is pronounced floc-ci-nau-ci-ni-hil-i-pil-i-fi-ca-tion...hehe once again i feel smart
