Grammar Relevant Quotes

[Duke.Lychee]

I decided to make this thread because I thought it would fun to share all those quotes you know or made up that are relevant to grammar or spelling.

-Mark Twain

By yours truly.

I do believe that although it's not a proper word, it is an acceptable use of slang in the southern United States, and people living there (like Mr. Clemens) should not be reprimanded for using it.
