Grammar Cringe

When you see grammatical errors in a post and can't do anything to fix it. The cringe is worse if it is someone you respect or would feel bad to correct, or something that you like or agree with. It's like a booger hanging out of your best friend's nose but not being able to let them know.

I couldn't help but grammar cringe after reading my English teacher's post about her grandmother dying, because it had so many misspelled words and improper punctuation.

Grammar Outlaw

A grammar outlaw is the opposite of a grammar nazi. Grammar outlaws will use a group pronoun instead of a singular she or he, for instance, grammatically correct, but just because it fits better. Grammar outlaws can - or is that may - use words that flow for conversational purposes.

Me: Can I use the bathroom?
Teacher: I don't know. CAN, you?
Me: Listen (bitch). You think me a grammar outlaw, but I'm not. This is not a failure to communicate. You know exactly what I mean. When colloquialisms become ubiquitious, everyone understands their meaning. Now CAN you write me the pass or not
