Grammar

People need to learn grammar. Everyone who doesn't know the difference between two, to, and too need to learn it; there, their, and they're need to learn it; your and you're need to learn it. If you don't use any of those 3 in the right context, it makes you look like an idiot. I had a run in with this today.

I was on Twitter today and this girl (I don't even know) tweeted Beau Mirchoff from MTV's Awkward. She used the wrong kind of your/you're. I replied on it letting her know that instead of "your," it was "you're**". This girl got all bent out of shape because I corrected her. She tweeted to me and was like "omg stop tweeting You're... your like the 50th one. clever." Notice she used the wrong kind of your/you're yet again. You would have thought she would have learned by now. I did what anyone else would do and replied back to her. I said, "oh good, I'm not the only one who knows good grammar :) oh and you're* welcome." So this girl replies "you're like 12 shut up love" and she puts some girls twitter account in there to mention her. Calling for back up? First of all, I'm almost 16. Second of all, my picture on twitter doesn't even make me look 12. Thirdly, love? I don't love you, you don't love me. We don't love each other. Don't call me love. So in addition to having bad grammar, this girl is visually impaired. I'm kind of starting to feel bad for her. LOL just kidding. So I reply back to her saying "nice job with the you're this time. And I'm actually 16 in 4 days." Okay, now this is just ridiculous. So she replies back (being bitchy) saying "OMG COOOOL NOBODY CARES." At this point, I was mostly done talking to her. My final reply to this was, "lol, nice talking to you :)" Nice and sweet.

If you're* going to use bad grammar, don't get all upset when someone corrects you on it. I am definitely not perfect but if someone corrects me on my grammar or spelling, I appreciate it because now I won't do it again. You learn something new everyday. She should have considered that a learning experience. Hopefully she won't make this mistake again. Or if she does (because she probably will) maybe this time it won't be on the internet.
