15.Why do you want to correct my grammar?
Growing up, my Dad was a Nazi about perfect grammar. We would get the look of death if we ended a sentence with a preposition. My Dad would always prefer if we used profanity over poor grammar. It was just drilled into us.
It was NOT "What time is the party at?!" He would refuse to answer us. Or he would say: "I'm sorry, what did you say?!" Then we'd have to correct ourselves: "I'm sorry. At what time does the party start?"
The problem is, now I live with a born/raised Hawaiian. There are a few pidgen phrases that land in our house. When my Dad comes over, I still end up correcting myself. Hearing poor grammar makes me cringe. Think: Skin Crawl. "Who are you mad at?" EEEEEEEEEK! When people use correct grammar, it's impressive. I tend to think highly of them. I'm a snot like that I guess.
Typos though...... yeah, I'm notorious for those. I instant message too fast.
