Their is nothing that makes me more angerer than when I read a story and, the grammer and spelling is all over the place.

Yes, I, like most people with at least a third grade education...don't like to sit around a read some shit story with no effort, no editing, and lack of punctuation.

Now don't get me wrong I don't condemn Grammar Nazi nor do I affiliate with the later but boy do I hate  when people can't use basic (and I mean basic) punctuation.

Allow me to list a few uses of punctuation (or lack thereof) that really heat my spine. It should be noted that these don’t just irritate me because they’re wrong, but because they’re stupidly wrong. In other words, they don’t make any sense at all.

 Ending declarative sentences with question marks.

-Before I came on this wonderful website I didn't even know this was a thing. But low and behold- it is. I kid you not, there was this one story I read where all the periods where in place of question marks and vice versa.

For my visual learners this is how their story went down:

"Are you going to the mall today. I have a test tomorrow so I can't go?"

and

"I have a major crush on Harry? Do you think he's single."

Do you know how annoying that is? 

Either I just met the biggest troll on wattpad or this lad is missing a chromosome or two...

Mysterious, orphan punctuation marks. 

-You know it when ??? you see them.. Those random, punctuation marks (or spaces)) that magically appear in the content of a text .

Too many punctuation marks. 

-I get it. You really want to stress a point!!!!! But seriously??!! Do you really think I’m so stupid that I won’t get your meaning, and thus feel compelled to pile on the punctuation marks lest I fail to detect the urgency of your question or the enthusiasm of your statement?????!!! 

 No punctuation at all. 

-OK, so I understand that sometimes people are in a rush why can’t they just stop for a minute and use punctuation marks to indicate that one sentence has ended and another has begun it’s uber annoying.

There are only three reasons why people don't put punctuation:

A) They think it is not require to do it because it "school-related" material. 

B) They are accustomed to social communication in which grammatical rules don't apply to them. It part of the social norms through friends, media and especially by text message, email, etc... 

C) They're a lazy fuck (excuse my french).

Then we have the idiots who refuse to use spell check. I'm not gonna lie I'm an atrocious speller, (legit had to google how to  spell 'atrocious') but I don't let my spelling hinder my writing. Althought, some times I get it, no one's perfect and we all have typos. Your hand may have slipped on a keyboard or maybe you were typing so fast you didn't even notice. Which brings me to my next topic.

Now there are cases (this usually applies to the vast majority of us) where we might use the wrong tense or we add in a letter that's not suppose to be there. In these cases we usually fall victim to the- dare I say it- Grammar Police (or in extreme cases it's counterpart the Grammar Nazi).

Self-professed grammar snobs are elitist jerks who enjoy feeling superior for knowing more about English and all its quirks than the average person. 

You know who I'm talking about. Those select few who get an overwhelming sense of pride when correcting the "there's" and "theirs" of friends and followers.

And the truth of the matter is that where ever you have writing there will always be a grammar police. Forums? Yup. YouTube? Uh-huh. Wattpad? Oh you bet your-bottom-dollar there is!

If you didn't already know I run a book club on wattpad where I have people comment and help edit a person's story to ya know, help improve themselves as a writer and yadda-yadda-yadda.

So I had this one member (who shall remain anonymous) critique my story but she only pointed out all of my small grammatical errors. And yes I'm not some god when it comes to linguistics and no, I'm not entirely sure where to put a semi-colon sometimes...Heck! I'm only a sophomore but still.

This was literally how she commented on my story. (Which I deleted... RIP) Mind you she did this on every paragraph:

"Put the comma before 'but'"

"Whom not who"

"its not it's"

This chick literally blew up my notifications. I'm here sitting in class thinking someone was commenting and voting on my story, genuinely enjoying it (cause ya know phones vibrate/'ding' when you get a notification). But no! I was basically getting schooled in 6th grade language arts. Talk about a major let down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's kinda my fault but some of the things she told me were objective. For instance there really isn't a set 'rule' for where you put a comma. But that's besides the point.

And if you are a Grammar Nazi yourself you probably cringed at the first sentence of this chapter. I did that on purpose just for you. Oh and he rest of my chapter is un-edited, thought it'd be funny to see how many mistakes you guys can find. *Insert evil comedic laughter* 

I wanna hear your thoughts and comments. Ever been abused by said Grammar Police/Nazi/Snob?
