Grammar Matters Law
Hi, Kris here. This isn't actually an episode of Grammar Matters, but I wanted to take a minute and make a disclaimer, lay down some Grammar Matters law.
Grammarians, you know, will argue over just about anything. In fact, English is such a confusing language that it offers a lot of fodder for fighting over. I'm just another English major who enjoys figuring out why we say the things we do, or why we say them how we do. I like grammar enough that I'm willing to go the extra mile to find out exactly how a word should be used or in what order to place words. So in the end, you'll be reading just another grammarian's opinion. If you're a grammarian too, it's bound to happen that you'll disagree with me or even that you'll find errors in my transcripts, and that's okay. I'm just here to provide a guide for those who might need help or to talk grammar with those who don't. Okay, well, to be fair, I'm mostly here for the fun of it, because I'm geeky like that.
Be sure to keep it nice. I love comments. They tell me that my episode generated enough interest to induce a response. But if you're trolling on my blog--and I will decide that arbitrarily--I will remove your comments. That means go ahead and disagree, but do it in a kindly fashion. And if I see the words "you're wrong" from the same commentor on every episode, you will be forcefully ejected from the building, ya feel me? This is my personal blogosphere-type virtual home, so I'm going to insist on a little respect. But don't make me moderate my comments. That just wouldn't be fun. So then, let's play with some words.
