The Struggles Of Being a Grammar Cop

Grammar Cops.

We are some of the most annoying people on this planet.

👮

But, there are some struggles that come with our jobs…

---

1.  People saying, “Grammar and Spelling are the same thing!”
2. To everyone who doesn’t like reading (what have you done with your life????), they’re, their, and there are the same thing. And then you feel like ripping your hair out.
3. This quote: “Ugh, you’re such a nerd. Grammar/spelling doesn’t matter anyway.”
4. “Ugh, like I can’t even.” WHAT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN??? You can’t even WHAT? MORE LIKE YOU CAN’T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH!
5. In most people’s minds, to=too=two. ARRRRGHHH. Or your=you’re. NO! NO NO NO NO NO!
6. When peer-editing, not wanting to seem like a jerk while you correct everything they write.
7. “She didn’t like the pie so she gave the pie to her friend who ate the pie.” REPETITION. HOW DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT THIS IS WRONG?
8. “I literally died.” OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN’T BECAUSE YOU’RE STILL HERE. actually i shouldn’t be judging this though because i say this ALL THE TIME
9. Not understanding rap songs because half the words are strung together wrong, and they don’t make sense.
10. Going above and beyond, even when you’re writing something simple. Most people will say: “First you do this, then you do that, next is this step, and blahhhhblaahhhhblah.” You say: “First, take {object} and do this. Then, using {thingymabobber}, continue {blahblahblah}. Lastly, finish doing{something} by…”
