There are few things in life that bother me more than bad grammar, one of them being bad etiquette (especially bad plane etiquette). I'm not saying that my grammar is A+ quality all the time, but when it counts i.e. work emails, I make sure that I, at the very least, proof read my work before I hit the send button. In the last month alone I've received some of the most poorly written emails in my life. The amount of respect I have for these people is on a crazy downward spiral. Today I just felt like writing back and saying, "Can you send me a copy of your 6th grade diploma?" Its so bad that I need to see some proof - I mean she says she went to college, but I'm having trouble believing she made it to high school, let alone was able to complete an entrance essay unless it was to clown college. I know its hard to remember every single rule in the book, but please master the following at the very least:
1. The difference between their, they're, and there
2. The difference between herd and heard
3. The difference between your and you're
4. Do not use slang words and/or abbreviations such as LOL
5. PROOF READ EVERYTHING - TWICE
6. When in doubt - ask someone or google the correct answer
However, if you enjoy looking like an uneducated idiot, then by all means continue on your path of illiteracy. I'll just continue to roll my eyes each time I log on and see your name in my inbox....
