This quick, and hopefully entertaining, story starts with my girlfriend's post How To Break Grammar Rules Like A Badass.
A grammar post? BORING!
It's actually really entertaining! You should check it out. And no, I'm not writing this blog just to tell you to go read another post.
@cryptogee commented on her post:
@cryptogee's comment prompted me to go read his post, where it sunk in just how poor my writing skills are.
Speking of that - Reading the work of excellent writers is a great way to become a better writer. I'm sure I'm leaving some names out, but a few others I've come across on steemit include:
@thecryptofiend
@lpfaust
@kyriacos
@donkeypong
@kevinwong
@sharingeverybite
@ericvancewalton
@stellabelle
Seriously, these blogs make mine look like garbage. But I digress.
I then commented on @cryptogee's post:
@sharingeverybite saw my comment and informed me that "is" isn't a preposition, it's a verb. Thanks, grammar nazi.
I Googled "is is a verb" which is possibly the dumbest question I've ever put into Google. Turns out she was right. Women are always right.
Then I told @sharingeverybite a grammar joke, which she found hilarious. Maybe you will too.
2 girls, 1 cup.
Wait, no. That's not how it went.
2 girls, 1 from Alabama, the other from Long Island, show up at their college dorm on their move-in date. It turns out the two soon-to-be Freshmen are rooming together.
The one from Alabama, in her thick southern accent, says "Where are you from?"
The Long Islander replies "I'm from a place where we know not to end a sentence with a preposition."
The Alabamian goes "Oh sorry, I meant - Where are you from, bitch?"
