I have become a grammar Nazi myself. I have fixed your original post. Please stop being a hypocrite.

Thank you!

I love how when every time someone complains about grammar ,they screw up the grammar in their rant.

Does it REALLY take that much effort to type things correctly? You're only hurting yourself.

No...duh...everyone knows it's "I seed a Camero the other day." The past tense of "see" is "seed."

Actually, the one that really smokes my entrails is the idiotic and totally useless word of "Ima".

"Ima gonna do this" or "Ima gon git me som" or some stupid, moronic type such as that.

I totally understand the text world if you're using a tiny little phone screen to use text lingo. But this is a forum, and in MOST cases someones not tapping this stuff out on a blackberry.

I'm all for supporting someone's "right" to use such drivel, but I certainly won't take anyone that chooses to use it very seriously. Well, pretty much at all.

I wish people would spell out the word CAMARO instead of cammy, maro, cam, camero. It takes you two seconds to type Camaro(There I just timed myself and it was indeed two seconds). Stop half-assing the name of a great American icon!

I agree, I really hate 'maro' especially... not sure why, just reminds me of 'mallow' (as in marshmallow) every time I hear/read it.

Actually, I think a brief grammar lesson is good once in a while.

Thanks!
