You know you're a grammar nazi when:

Writing your child a note to get out of gym due to coughing/respiratory issues necessitates three drafts and a final version of said note.

:crazy:

1. Bwahahaha !!

I do that writing notes to Mr. Gray. Then he finds the drafts in the trash and laughs at me.

[LaraMN]

3. Good! Then I'm not alone in my weirdness.

My husband responds similarly to yours. He doesn't get it at all.

6. It's important to give a good impression.

If my handwriting looks crappy, I write another one.

Thanks,

4. Gerunds should be used sparingly.

5. My dear Lara!

The very first step in solving a problem?

Recognizing that you have the problem!

Good luck, sweetie! :yoiks:

7. I can't leave an "i" undotted....

I can't leave a sentence without a period or a new paragraph without a space, even when I'm in a hurry. When I write a letter, I always include the date on the upper right hand side of the paper. (I went to Catholic school with Nazi nuns).

8. During the 2002 campaign

I was writing letter to the editor and wanted to get one more in before the election, but the paper had a 30 day policy so I sent it to another volunteer to send in for me.

She did, but said she made a few changes "I'm sorry about the editing," she said, "It comes from 30 years of being an english teacher."

"Oh, I don't mind the editing . . . it comes from 22 years of being a husband."
