I'm not a grammar nazi, but ...

I’m not a Grammar Nazi, and I am not the worlds best speller. But 4 things really annoy me:

1. Clients who write an email like they are writing an sms:

Real life example: “If possible plz organise transport 4 me 4rm my destination @Durban (I've nvr bin in Durban-guess u'll also hav 2 tell me whr 2 ride of, I'm 4rm Bloemfontein I jst 1nt 2 go out wth my frnd n our gfs.. Thnx, we cn communicate wth emails.”

When I get an email like that, it makes my brain hurt. It makes me cry on the inside. Sometimes it makes me cry on the outside too. Real tears. Do I really have to respond to that?

2. People who make up words and then put them in songs and repeat them over and over…

“Erryday erryday erryday” and “aint nobody’s bidnizz”. What is an “erryday” and what is “bidness”. When I hear those songs, it makes me want to cut off my ears. Literally.

3. People who write words like they sound/like they say them and not how they actually are written.

I can’t tell you how many times I've received an email asking for a “coatation”. Coatation … really.

4. People who just use the wrong words that sound the same:

Another real life example: "Witch ref must i use. "

Okay ... Maybe I am a bit of a Grammar Nazi....
