Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that in a rant about grammar, not a single period is used outside of a quotation. You know period, the punctuation mark indicating the end of a sentence or phrase.

Also "it does not mean 'lookout here come's an s.'"

I assumed it was a joke until I realized that was the only instance in which they used it incorrectly.

I fucking hate grammar nazis. And not because I'm bad with "correct" grammar. It's because grammar nazis don't understand language, but act like they are the privileged, educated few who do. Language (and that includes spelling and punctuation customs) has been changing ever since it existed, and people naturally do things that cohere with their basic instincts about language. "Correctness" is almost totally arbitrary. "Correctness" in language is not even a concept that really came around until the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and it only came about because of convenience (especially in terms of printing and increasing literacy)(and also the rationalist ideals of the Enlightenment as well). For example, "its" used to be spelled "it's" because apostrophes are also used to designate possession, and if that doesn't fucking make as much sense or more sense than spelling it "its," I'm a monkey's uncle. Also "I" is only capitalized because writing "i" was easier to overlook. Seriously, I'm not kidding. My History of English textbook taught me that. It's not because people were like "oh, it's a proper noun." No. It was because it was easier to overlook when it was printed.

So, okay, clearly it's useful to have a standard in order for convenience, and I'm not arguing that, but to berate people for non-standard usage when it doesn't introduce any actual confusion is fucking obnoxious.

That's MY grammar rant.

[–]LokiStrike 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well unfortunately English majors are considered authorities on language instead of linguists, the people who actually study language, so few people understand that writing is merely a tool to express the way we speak. We're taught to think that writing IS language and not a representation of language.

When our speech starts to diverge from what we write, there are always grammar nazis who assume it's "wrong" because they don't understand that language constantly changes and that it has always been that way and always will be that way. Linguists know that there is no such thing as "wrong" in language unless there is a failure to communicate. The "wrong" grammar nazis talk about is completely different. Change in language is regarded as wrong by these people on high horses in spite of the fact that there is not a single language in the history of this planet that has ever avoided constant change. Every language changes CONSTANTLY and it ALWAYS has.

It is so sad you got downvotes for this. Just goes to show how misinformed people are and how people get this mysterious kick out of accusing people of being dumb.

[–]featherrocketship 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thank you--this is precisely what I was hoping to say. I thought about alerting r/linguistics to come rally to my side, but it seemed more trouble than it was worth.

I've got a small consolation in that my post was controversial, and not just flat-out downvoted to oblivion. At least I've got just about as many upvotes as downvotes, eh?

Ironically (I guess), I'm both an English major and a Linguistics major at my college. EVERYONE should be listening to me by that logic, right? :P

[–]thefancygentlemanne 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Indeed. The purpose of language is to communicate a concept. If the concept of "you" was communicated with "u" - which I assume happened, since the author decided to berate them for using the latter instead of the former - then communication was successful. The language served its purpose. Now, that doesn't mean one shouldn't aim to be as precise and standard as possible since it decreases the likelihood of misunderstanding, but if we're just derping about on the internet, well, does it really matter? It's not like YouTube comments are preserved for future generations to study their content (at least I hope not...).

Just to be the cunt that I am, there doesn't necessarily have to be a comma between the ARE and the ampersand in the line "WHY, ARE & YOU". Unless the items can be mistaken as a pair, the comma in that position is not always necessary.

[–]BeefyWeef 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The extra comma before the 'and' is known as an Oxford comma. In most cases it is optional. Personally, I do not give a fuck about an Oxford comma.

It's one thing to niggle over grammar if you really can't understand what the person is saying because their grammar is so bad (the FUNCTION of the speech). It's entirely another to criticize the FORM of the speech just because it doesn't fit your preconceived notions of perfect English.

Language is fluid, meaning is ever changing, old rules are old. If you get the meaning, lighten up.

Also, I rarely, if ever, see a grammar rant without a grammatical error. So there's that too.

[–]gordo24 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Grammar is not set in stone and is constantly but slowly evolving. Letters and words have only one purpose to facilitate communication. If communication isn't hindered, made clearer, or colloquially understood with changes than who are you to say it is incorrect. Language is only incorrect when it fails to communicate. And if you can't read something because of the way it was written it probably wasn't written for u.

[–]Aamon 2 points3 points ago

Whoever wrote this is a fucking moron, really. The argument for a comma is to eliminate ambiguity.

For example, take the following sentence:

After bowling a man came up to me and said, "hi."

This sentence is ambiguous and could mean two different things. One you were bowling a man, or two, you were finished bowling and a man came up to you.

Depending on your intended meaning it would make sense to place a comma after "after bowling."

That's just a little bit of grammar 101.

[–]Rusty_Shanks 2 points3 points ago

I find it amusing that there are a multitude of grammar mistakes in a rant about grammar period. <---(subtle pun there)

well as someone who has grown up with a spelling disorder i guess i have payed more attention to everyone opinion on the subject and here is my take on it.

over time language as a hole has evolved is such a way that people are able to convey what they want to convey to anyone in a timely and quick manner with as little confusion as possible. with that said when you look at the modern age of texting and chatting online that has become common. when you look at the past and apply what you now know its obvious that people are just doing the same thing they have done for generations. the only reason its happening so fast is that spelling and talking via mail has never ban so convenient. with the masses of people trying to text on small phones and talking online things such as "lol" "ty" and others like on your post have become common.

so all it is, is language evolving so that people can convey to anyone what they want to convey in as quick an amount of time as possible with no confusion. so unfortunately as much as you might hate it, its here to stay.

(sorry for any spelling errors like i have stated i misspell stuff all the time and i don't even notice it. i have 3 types of synesthesia that cause this..)

I look at it as evolution. It is a more efficient use of time to only use the letter and not the word. If you don't like it, perhaps stop using contractions and abbreviations also. They are merely time savers and probably got someone butt hurt, much like the author of that diatribe.

That's some profoundly stupid shit. 1: Language is not static and it means what we agree it means. 2: Contractions are more necessary than ever now that we're working with a 160-character limit. 3: The whole fuckin' rant is unoriginal 4: The whole fucking rant is riddled with grammar and style errors (capitalization, punctuation, etc ad nauseum)

grammar nazis are the worst, especially considering that the internet is not a formal situation requiring formal grammar, and considering that the internet has a lot of people who speak English as a second language

I always explain as such: You're means "you are" as in "you're illiterate" as opposed to your as in "your problem with illiteracy."

This is missing the best lesson I ever learned:

"If you want to be possessive its just i.t.s. but if you want a contraction then its i.t.apostrophe.s scalawag"

I've decided to define this as the exact opposite of "Not giving a fuck".

Also, low-hanging fruit. Those are the three everyone gets immediately. Why not rip on the ones that require a limber imagination and half a bottle of Robitussin?

Wow, it's too bad that it's grammatically incorrect. "... dumbshit fucking asses because they didn't know how to tell the difference between 'there', 'they're' & 'their'..." should have "differences among," as there are three or more objects being analyzed. [It is a] fail[ure].

[–]Pragmataraxia 0 points1 point ago

I use "its" (as opposed to "it's") as the possessive, but it feels wrong every time. English is a stupid language, don't bother defending it.

I feel like we need to start adding the difference between "lose" and "loose" to rants like these. Bitches can't figure them out anymore.

Well, English is not my first languag, but shouldn't it read "... if it has to read the drivel you write" or "... if it had to read the drivel you wrote". Otherwise you seem to mix tempus

Dumbfuck.

The periods and question marks aside, the expression is "Down syndrome." The preferred terminology is to lose the possessive in eponyms.

But if you insist on using the possessive, then put the fucking apostrophe between the n and the s.
