...when you have to wear earphones in English class because your teacher talks in ebonics.... crying
I can't wait until I'm out of her class.... Everytime I correct her she says, "I am an English teacher not a speech or grammar teacher."

Ghurdrich Does anybody actually do this? Or am I the only one?YEAH! And she's one of meh best friends. (Reads the dictionary for fun, ALWAYS correcting our grammar, she and I get in many minor arguments over grammar, I'm suprised she's not in this guild.) Now, after knowing her for over a year, I am classified as a grammar freak by most everyone I know, even though I know I'm not that bad. Plus, I've got a good one. If run-ons make you puke OR If you always re-state whatever your friends say when they use a run on.

SirCharles999 I don't really Care if my freind use Improper Grammar I meen I say tlk sometimes : Instead of Talk if it means much smile AHHHH! Okay, I hate to be rude, but that was scary. May I correct you? Okay, I'm not going to wait for an answer. I shall underline the parts I fixed. I don't really care if my friends use improper grammar. I mean, I type "tlk" sometimes (no need for a colon) instead of talk if it means much smile Phew... I really needed to get that out of my system.

You spelled "friends" wrong. How sad... Let's all hope that you typed that very, very, extremely quickly.

I was just about to correct it myself had you not beat me to it. -When you spend more time at the guild than anywhere else on Gaia. Skipping_Evil_Zebra You spelled "friends" wrong. How sad... Let's all hope that you typed that very, very, extremely quickly. Umm, for the record you don't usually have an adverb following right after another one. It sounds wierd when you say it. You should stick simply with very, very, quickly.

Not to mention the fact that you horribly abused commas. So much bloody hypocrisy here. :/ Heheheh.

We seem to live in a world of it. >.< "Very quickly" is still an adverb modifying an adverb. I have no problem with it. A lot of English teachers will tell you "if you need to use 'very', you actually just need to find a stronger word." I was just pointing out error 'cause I'm so good at it.

Ah, see, mine English teacher prefers analyzing and praising To Kill a Mockingbird in all its symbolic glory. She's not that much of a grammar freak. Erm... this is getting slightly off-topic... You can carry this into pms if you want.

My high school Journalism teacher would leave a note for any substitue teacher instructing them to give me any articles that had been turned in that day. One teacher refused when she realized that I was in the 6th grade and not actually in high school yet. The school paper was just an after school hobby and I was better than the current editor who was graduating that year.
It's actually sad how far I have slipped in my proper useage of the English language. Something I hope to fix before my children figure out I'm not really perfect. 3nodding

You know you're obsessed with grammar when you'r english teacher becomes your student after a week of being in the class.

The MoUsY spell-checker Klandy Ok, most every guild has this. You know your obessed with good grammar when... It's "you're", not "your", and shouldn't that be " almost every guild has this"? Litia_Echo You start correcting your friend's grammer whenever they are talking. You are told you are too proper because of the way you speak. (Even though you are a rocker or something.) You get into small agruements with yourself about your own grammer. You can pick out grammer flaws on people's T-shirts and the such. That's all I can think of at the moment. It's gramm ar. By the way, did anyone see this? It's a list about grammar on Keepers of Lists (a site for funny lists). ]http://www.keepersoflists.org/index.php?lid=5767well that was a whee bit rude. I'm sorry but I hate it when people do that.
