Although English grammar has been rendered by computer nerds as obsolete, the system retains a somewhat utilitarian value on sadomasochist internet sites, otherwise known as social networks, as a way for inherently dumb people such as myself to piss off so called Grammar Nazi's, and for the so called Grammar Nazis(also me) to inject meaning into their live's by responding angrily.

  • Although English grammar has been rendered by computer nerds as obsolete, the system retains a somewhat utilitarian value on sadomasochist internet sites, otherwise known as social networks, as a way for inherently dumb people such as myself to piss off so called Grammar Nazi's, and for the so called Grammar Nazis(also me) to inject meaning into their live's by responding angrily.
  • Grammarians can be dealt, broadly-speaking, into prescriptivists and descriptivists. Prescriptivists have often tried to strong-arm English into following the word laws and pathways of Latin. Some of these ways can be shown as the "no split-infinitive law" and the law against hanging to-words. Most of these have been mostly unheeded by homeborn speakers. However, a few—such as the use of twofold not-words to mean yes-words—have become scoldsome and seen as "wrong" (despite being the everyday speech of thousands of English speakers worldwide, including in popular culture).
