Years ago, when we were on vacation one summer, we tuned in to the local news in that city and the news team was doing a report on what teachers were doing that summer. They asked one teacher what subject she taught. She said “I be’s da English teachah”.

That explains why I was cool in high school for only 10 minutes. I saw one misplaced comma, and that was it.

So “cool people” means those who speak gibberish?

Obviously I’m not one of the cool people. I know the difference between your and you’re, there and they’re.

I’m glad I didn’t send any kids to that school.

I’m in the last group. If I encounter a typo while reading, it throws me for a loop.

I take exception to being called a grammar “nazi” (which should not be capitalized). I’m a commun(ication)ist.
