(2) To a non-linguist, grammar usually refers to various pre-scientific notions of "correct" usage.

1: A concept which is implemented in every modern langauge today. Each different group has it's own rules. People on the internet however, don't.
2: The last name of actor Kelsey Grammer that starred in the series Frasier and Cheers. Only the speech is writing is slightly different in a way that you would spell 'Basterds' in a movie title to get more hits.

Something that isn't even used on the Internet these days. Only a small percentage of people use correct grammar on the Internet, while the rest type like this, "kan u un3rst@hn diz?". Using grammar is very easy, but some people are incapable to do that cause they are stupid.

Me: Wow its amazing how a 20 year old types like a 3rd grader.
Charley Mao: 8(

Something that should be learnt properly before being allowed access to word definitions on Urban Dictionary. I'm sick of misused punctuation, missing capital letters and lazy spelling. If I had a red pen right now...
