Good grammar and punctuation is sexy! If there is one thing that bothers me, it’s blatantly poor grammar. And I’m talking about the obvious stuff.
“Your invited,” said an email I got at work — My invited?
There are online groups and blog posts all about grammar correctness. There are self-proclaimed “Grammar Nazis” that correct incorrect spellings and grammar wherever they are. The Urban Dictionary says it’s:
A person who uses proper grammar at all times, esp. online in emails, chatrooms, instant messages and webboard posts; a proponent of grammatical correctness. Often one who spells correctly as well.
A popular peeve is the use of the non-existent word “alright.” That got to my friend today so she decided to take it to the streets and correct a popular Boston Reebok ad campaign that reads, “RUN EASY BOSTON.”
“Run easy Boston? Should I run an easy Boston? Should I run, and is Boston a promiscuous city?
“Without punctuation, we have nothing.”
So, she placed an adhesive comma in the correct place. Love it.
