This quick, and hopefully entertaining, story starts with my girlfriend's post How To Break Grammar Rules Like A Badass.
A grammar post? BORING!
It's actually really entertaining! You should check it out. And no, I'm not writing this blog just to tell you to go read another post.
commented on her post:
's comment prompted me to go read his post, where it sunk in just how poor my writing skills are.
Speking of that - Reading the work of excellent writers is a great way to become a better writer. I'm sure I'm leaving some names out, but a few others I've come across on steemit include:
Seriously, these blogs make mine look like garbage. But I digress.
I then commented on 's post:
saw my comment and informed me that "is" isn't a preposition, it's a verb. Thanks, grammar nazi.
I Googled "is is a verb" which is possibly the dumbest question I've ever put into Google. Turns out she was right. Women are always right.
Then I told a grammar joke, which she found hilarious. Maybe you will too.
2 girls, 1 cup.
Wait, no. That's not how it went.
2 girls, 1 from Alabama, the other from Long Island, show up at their college dorm on their move-in date. It turns out the two soon-to-be Freshmen are rooming together.
The one from Alabama, in her thick southern accent, says "Where are you from?"
The Long Islander replies "I'm from a place where we know not to end a sentence with a preposition."
The Alabamian goes "Oh sorry, I meant - Where are you from, bitch?"
