The Grammar Police

Ah, the Grammar Police. You know the type--they step into conversations to correct your use of me and I, or how you enunciate. I'll be the first to admit none of us are perfect. Innocent mistakes happen when typing all the time. However, there are those who walk among us who employ a flagrant disregard for the English language and they... *ahem* Yes, it's true. I tried to deny it, but when I started hiding people on Facebook because they can't spell "definitely," and I know they have a college degree...well, it was time to come clean about my grammar tendencies. I am one of the Grammar Police. I'm not proud to say it, but I can't seem to help it. And maybe, just maybe, you're one of us, too.

To help, I've put together a short Grammar Police test. If you can identify with any of the following, it might be time to confess.

Have you ever sent this to anyone who *repeatedly* uses the incorrect form of your/you're?



I'm guilty of this on a daily basis (bonus points if you catch the mistakes in the picture):
 Would this make you feel better?  

And finally, if this describes you, you're already too far gone.

  Being part of the Grammar Police isn't so bad. We're a not-so-secret society of readers, writers and OCD sufferers. We love the written word, and are equally obnoxious to anyone who dares to use the wrong form of there/their/they're. We can change the world, one corrected word at a time.
