Mine’s that people who insist on correcting others grammar on internet forums are little shits who peaked in grade six as a teacher’s pet and get off on exerting their “superiority” on others.

Fuck you “less than” is just better than “fewer then.” Think I’m wrong, tell me what these symbols are called “< >” that’s what I thought loser.

    People who can’t stand being corrected. Instead of learning and improving, they feel diminished and hateful.

      Knowing the rules and knowing when they’re needed are two different things. A racecar driver doesn’t need to floor it on their way home. Likewise a conversation doesn’t need to employ strict grammatical compliance, we’re talking not drafting a treatise. At the end of the day people who get upset with incorrect grammar do so because it’s an ick or theirs. They then proceed to make that everyone else’s problem. You’re not learned and scholarly for being pedantic.
