it is a well-known fact that i am a grammar snob, but there's something i especially can't stand. people who claim to be grammar snobs yet have atrocious grammar themselves. i can excuse the occasional misplaced comma, apostrophe, or misspelled word; but come on, people, if you're going to claim to be picky about grammar, learn how to use punctuation! not capitalizing letters or spacing stuff funny for style's sake is quite different from unclear punctuation and spelling. i mean, look at ee cummings--the rebel himself--he still used correct grammar and spelling while being completely original (i admit his poetry is my guilty pleasure).
so...my point? i don't know. i just get annoyed is all.
until...
