The best thing I saw last week was CM Punk’s Grammar Slam presented by the Nerdist Channel on YouTube. Here I found a kind hearted wrasslin man trying to increase the correct use of grammar on the internet and hopefully lower the community rage created by those unable to use correct grammar in their communications with the world through social media.
CM Punk’s outrage at people unable to properly use there/their/they’re when communicating with fellow humans is as funny as these videos are informative. Specifically when he goes through tweets sent to him saying that some other wrestler is going to “kick you’re ass!” It’s great stuff.
Personally I’ve been called a grammar Nazi on Twitter and Facebook, I don’t really mind. Call me names, just spell them correctly and use them properly and I’ll be okay with almost anything. And here’s a hint people, when you are low on space in a tweet use the text term “yur” it works for both forms of your/you’re and it saves space. Just don’t use “your” when you mean “you’re – the contraction of you-are” and tell me it was because you ran out of space.
The links below, go enjoy these videos, maybe learn something, and join the legions I believe will now be using these to Rick Roll the grammatically challenged.
Now if CM Punk would just do one so I can figure out that damn to/too/two thing…
