Going to be a Grammar Critic.
I see it all the time and makes me wonder. See it in responses all the time and even
printed media!
When did the word "OF" replace "HAVE"?...as in..
I would of instead of I would have, or would've..
Could of instead of could have or could've.
Should of instead of should have or should've...
Improper use of their, they're, and there...
Then this text speak crap...
U...is a letter, not a word or pronoun..
R...is a letter, not a word, adverb, or verb.
This list could be endless...
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

I just look at it this way ... ESPECIALLY since this computer and my phone like to put words up I never typed ...
Have a little brother who was always running around correcting everyone. Still does, matter of fact. He's an authority on everything and everyone. Yet he could never understand why no one wanted him around. Which, he conveniently blamed on me.
I was more intelligent that a lot of people I hung out with. But I always talked TO them, not DOWN TO them. I'm a grammar nerd. I just never saw it worth losing a friend over.

I expect most could spend days correcting grammar here, heck I could spend a day editing my own. For the most part I just write here, no worries. What gets me crazy about my own is how often I drop words that seem useless, until I go back and read what I wrote.
Don't get me started on my punctuation, always use a style book for formal writing!

Here's a freebie. Ricky never said anything but gibberish when he went on a rant.

not really Gunny. He may have been going really fast, and I've read that sometimes even some spanish speakers couldn't pick up everything from him because of his Cuban accent/dialect.
here he's got a bit of spanglish going
