Going to post here so I don't post on FB

I've maybe had an extra glass of wine tonight and really need to stay off facebook.

It's the most ridiculous, nit-picky thing, but my SIL constantly refers to "Bob and I's wedding" or "Bob & I's anniversary" (bob is not the real name) and the incorrect grammar drives me insane!!!  Especially because she portrays herself as a highly educated, prim and proper, memorized Emily Post Etiquette, person.   She just made another post referring to "Bob & I's blah blah blah" and it's taking everything in me not to correct her!  

Nerd vent done.

  • OMG I hate grammatical errors!!  There are times that I won't post something because I don't think I have the grammar correct.  I know, total loser :(

    Have you seen the Someecards post that I put on FB a while back?  The one about misspellings on FB?  Freaking hysterical!  You just need to come up with a sassy response to her mistake!

    Sorry I don't know how to make it clicky :( 

  • Ha! I was thinking of writing something like "What do Bob and you's have planned?"
     but I just can't.  too much drama.

    That bugs me too. Sometimes, I swear it takes every.fiber.of.my.being to not correct the grammar that was butchered or the never-ending misspellings (that are not do to "smart" phones' auto-correct).

    I've grown to ignore one younger cousin's use of the ending -ie for every word that ends in -y. She at least acknowledged that she does it intentionally and doesn't care that it bugs people. At first though, I admit that I thought she must have failed spelling in grade school. I was so happy to find out that wasn't the case!

  • This sounds horrible, but I keep one certain person around on FB just because of her ridiculous statuses & grammatical errors.  It's a family member who always seems to be wrapped up in drama.  Last summer, while complaining about another family member, she stated "That's Cama for ya baby!  What goes around, comes around!"  Cama huh?  After I nearly spit my beverage out, it took all I've got to not correct her that "cama" is the Portuguese word for "bed" and she was looking for the word "Karma"
