    It’s the little thongs that matter in life. It’s the big “but” after it that must be taken into consideration.

    I always taught my students (and my own kids) that language exists to serve a purpose — to communicate. Misuse of the language can make achieving that goal more difficult or downright impossible. If nobody knows what you’re saying, it’s better to remain quiet. Correct grammar and spelling can help you achieve your goal of communication.

    Little thongs only cover small amounts or little things. If you have bigger amounts or bigger things, it’s better to have bigger thongs.

    No one likes us, but the world needs us! Especially since no one knows the difference between “your” and “you’re”, and “their”, “there”, and “they’re”. Grammar Nazis unite!

    Yes, we grammar and spelling snobs can be useful. We will hold the line against pronouns. Pronouns come in two forms – singular and plural and none of them start with Z or X.

    Max Schulman gag: College freshman goes to first meeting with his advisor. The advisor is doing a cat’s cradle made from leather boot laces. The advisor asks, “What are these?” Boy answers, “Thongs.” Advisor replies, “You’re welcome.”

    If, instead of “SNOBS”, Pastis had used the nickname of a particular German political party, I think the comment section would be a bit different.

    Serious comment provoked by a comic below. If you hate such things, there are other threads.

    If Pig honestly thought the “little things” mattered, he would care about spelling and grammar. Such are often considered small and unimportant but can honestly have a huge impact. It bothers me how little some people consider their value in good communication.

    When I was working taking classified ad orders at a newspaper, an overflow call from the Obit department was routed to me. Poor lady had wanted the obit to read (among other things) that her loved one was “Now in his heavenly home,” but it had a single letter error. The “w” had been replaced by a “t.” I nearly died suppressing my reflexive reaction. Yes, one small spelling error can have a great consequence.
