Grammarian Grudge
The deterioration of proper English6 total reviews
Comment from Madeleine Mardis
CornishChick, this is a great post! It's masterful, how you wrote the dialogue! It flowed right along, I didn't even really mind the incorrect grammer, it was so good! But of course, that's what you were highlighting! I could understand it being like nails on a chalkboard for some, haha! Really like your groovy style in your picture! Maddy

I may have a gaffe now and then, but I try to use proper language. Now and then my verbiage may change when I am talking like country folk . Rant all you like I am b behind you all the way. Karen

I wanted desperately to add the latest error... that of using the apostrophe to denote plural!! but couldn't figure out how to do that since I was 100% dialogue!

Rules can interfere as well as help. Nice to see you. :-)

Thanks. I've been busy with other things. I'm no poet and that seems to be the bulk of the challenges *gulp*

Do whatever makes you happy whenever you can. We earned the right to be a little self centered by now:-)

Yes, that was hard to read, but does sound like many people I've heard speak. It's kind of scary to realize that they never paid attention to what proper grammar was supposed to sound like. It's like nails on a chalk board.

I wanted so bad to add the latest error ... using apostrophes to denote plural (!) but couldn't get it into the dialogue!

This piece made my head ache, which I am sure what you intended. It is like you said; it's like "nails on a chalkboard." This was a great rant. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I can see that poor grammar is a problem and it is for me, too. I enjoyed reading the story, but the story itself isn't actually a rant. Good luck with the contest.

Nicely done. Your ability to convey emotion through dialogue is impressive. The exchange between Candace and Carrie is both realistic and entertaining which really brought me into the story. It had funny parts too!
