Brilliant idea. Still, even as a joke this song is unbearable.

Hi Laura,

A descriptivist might argue that if a chap with such a masterful grasp of the English language as you doesn't know about a particular "nuance or obscure rule", then it's not worth knowing.

i'd like to know why someone who cries over typos and misplaced apostrophes is so sloppy with her own grammar and punctuation.

"OK"? "No no no"?

"As you can probably imagine, I'm not a fan of the Timbaland song, "The Way I Are"."

i'd say you have some serious punctuation issues you should've worked out in the fucking sixth grade. O_O

you're not smart because you point out some shameful typos and misspellings on signs. plz 2 be educating me about nuances and obscure rules i wouldn't otherwise know. that's what i want from a grammar blog. not your shit about what the the cool kids wear.

I don’t love “The Way I Are” either but I’ve always been more inclined to treat it like artistic license (poetry, I guess) than outright bad grammar.

You figured me out! Actually, I do use certain “assets” to attract my viewers.. but once there, they actually find that there is substance to my videos… so check a couple more out and then you won’t have to be cynical. Maybe there still is hope for the intellectuals of this world.. even if the lessons are sometimes dressed up in a titillating package
