received_2048261288521033.jpeg Grammar Nazis are good and all but there are some people who seriously ticks me off especially when they can't even write or speak themselves.

I mean before you point out somebody's mistake at least show that you can do it better or perfectly. Or else I'll just think that you're being a piece of shit.

Like me, English is basically my third language and I must admit that I am really bad at it compared to other people but hey, I'm trying here. Pointing out my mistakes would make me grateful to you as I would be better at it but there are times when someone's just being an ass.

Well, Why am I ranting ?
Just that a friend of mine sent me this without saying much. It was supposed to be funny but it made me pissed off instead. The thing is .. this wasn't the first time that she sent me screenshots of people who were grammatically wrong. I just dislike that kind of sneaky way I guess. That friend of mine graduated from a prestigious university but I am way smarter than she is. My point is .. this kind of thing annoys me ? or prolly I'm just sensitive. Well that's it. Done.

P.S I most likely messed up my grammar here and there... Feel free to correct me. Heh

      My grammar is terrible, and I don't mind people pointing out my mistakes, in fact I'm happy for it.

      But if they tell me how stupid I am or go improve your English instead of pointing out my mistakes, I'll curse them

      Just claim that you're writing in Australian English ('Strine for authenticity). Either no one will know if you're wrong or those that do won't care

      @isekaishousetsu Yeah.. I just dislike that they just have to go wake up and point out mistakes just because they don't have anything better to do.

      @brasca123 Exactly... There are times .. that it was fine but most of the times, They are just being rude.

      *hugs Koa-chan*

      I understand the feeling... I usually try my hardest to write properly, but sometimes I write things wrong because I have a huge headache, or because it's 6am and I have yet to sleep, or because I simply didn't pay much attention, or even because I pressed the wrong button on the keyboard...

      And then someone goes correct me? Well, sorry for not being perfect! *flips table*

      People like to do anything that would make them feel better/superior than others.

      Just know that a lot of successful people are grammatically/linguistically challenged even in their own native languages like Napoleon, Einstein, Churchill etc. etc.

      "I mean before you point out somebody's mistake at least show that you can do it better or perfectly"
      I mean, before you point out somebody's mistake, at least show that you can do it better or perfectly.
      "made me pissed off instead."
      Pissed me off (yours isn't wrong, it's just that it doesn't sound right)
      "I just dislike that kind of sneaky way I guess."
      I just dislike that kind of sneaky way, I guess.

      Correct me if I'm wrong.
