Grammar Rant

Okay, I know I have peeves.
I'm sorry.
Eh . . .
Nope. No, no I'm not.
As an English major, I suppose I'm entitled to be snobby about this, but I really, honestly try very hard not to be a grammar snob.
And most times, I'm not.
I'm a grammar nazi.
It's horrible, I know, as even I use deplorable grammar at times.
I'm actually really picky about exactly what gets me peeved.
For instance, if I'm texting or IMimg, I couldn't care less if you didn't capitalize, use correct grammar or what have you.
But in an email . . . you had better use it all correctly.
In spoken conversations, I don't care.
But Facebook . . .
Oh gosh, don't get me started . . .
Okay, so "your" and "you're" ARE different!! I promise! They are!
"Too", "to", and "two" are different. Really.
And when you're talking about more than one of something . . . there's no apostrophe.
Like, if you're talking about . . . say . . . Scottish Folds . . . It's "Scottish Folds" - not "Scottish Fold's".
*sigh*
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .
Or, I could just leave Facebook as its own thing and not worry about it.
Nope.
Too easy . . .

First Day of School

So, the first day was rather . . . uneventful. My morning class was cancelled due to the weather (which honestly wasn't that bad), one of my professors was trapped in Atlanta, so another professor gave the introduction. My other professors were pretty nice . . . The only thing that I would've changed about yesterday was probably the . . . wind, yes, definitely the wind! It would not have been nearly as cold if it hadn't been windy. I was texting a friend on the way to my car and by the time I got there, I was surprised she could make any of it out, because I couldn't feel my fingers!
