11. As long as she's ok with the obstinate jerkiness...
than things are cool... grammar corrections are a small price to pay for THAT exchange. :)

9. Sorry.
Here in San Francisco most same sex couples use the term partner, not husband or wife. Advice still stands though.

12. I made my ex memorize all 27 propositions in the English language
while I had sex with her. I told her I wouldn't finish the job until she promised never to end a sentence with any of those words. Good grammar has its rewards.

Should it be phenomena or phenomenon? I'm too lazy to open up the dictionary.

18. Perhaps,
She allegedly turned into a Grammar Nazi as an extreme reaction to the Orwellian speech of our present maladministration. She has come to realize that words have very real meanings. When those meanings are distorted there are dire consequences. If this is the reason she exhibits such Nazi-ism, then all you can do is hug her tight and whisper in her ear that things will get better when *co is defeated.

It's about time we stop destroying languages. God, if I hear the past particple used as a verb one more time I am going to :puke:. And I hear that all the time around my neck of the woods here in Texas. Or someone trying to be intelligent and incorrectly using who and whom. Or using the pronoun,I,in the nominative case when it should be, me,in the accusative case. Sheesh! Good going on her!!!!! ;)

P.S. Please do not have her review the above message.
