It's your language. You use it every day. You should strive to master it. My late mother, a 27-year, graduate-level professor of English, embedded that in my brain once upon a time. I’m not nearly as smart as she was, but I’m sharp enough to recognize that the vast majority of native-born Americans can’t speak or write English worth a lick.

Doesn't it irritate the hell out of you, when people comment negatively about those who mis-spell words or use grammar incorrectly? "Loose" when they mean "lose", "it's" everywhere instead of "its", etc.
It's not about being a grammar Nazi. It's about being precise. Using the language correctly is a mark of precision and discipline. So, I'm with you.
BTW, thanks for stopping by my sick and disgusting blog. Be assured that it really does reflect the way I really am...but you can mostly count on the correct use of the English language each time you visit.
You're right. It isn’t about being a grammar Nazi; it's about knowing your native language fluently. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for dropping by my blog. My main blog is here: http://ravingsfromsanantonio.blogspot.com
