That's hilarious! :) Recently, an old family friend made contact with me and we've been emailing a lot. He just sent another email. I know he's super nice, but my first thought upon reading it was, "why can't you just use paragraphs?"
So yeah, I'm a snob... but that comes as absolutely NO surprise to me! As I said offhand to a friend with whom I'm hunting for apartments, I have an inherent mistrust of people with a bad command of basic grammar.
Oh gee-sh Captain! I married a bad speller...but he has impeccable grammar. My spelling is pretty good but my grammar sucks. We make a wonderful couple of corrections!
I'm 50% a grammar snob so I guess that ain't so bad! My husband couldn't spell his way out of a paper bag, so I'm used to seeing the world in a rainbow of misspelled words! Everything else grammar-wise on his part is up for debate as well. It's good one of us can write because who else would write the yearly Christmas letter and thank-you notes?
Thank you. I thought I was alone in my grammar-snobbiness. (Yes, I did just get the red underline for using the word snobbiness-oops, there it is again!) Maybe I should give this some more thought. Hmmm...

This made me laugh! The last one reminded me of a particular 8th grader I once taught. He wanted to shock me. He wrote, "I worship Satin."
I wrote back on his paper, "Personally, I've always preferred silk."
Hey, bad spellers deserve to find love, too. I would definitely give him another chance! ;)
Loved this!
My spelling is atrocious ! Seriously.
:)
"I'm good" is grammatically correct but means "I'm well" in America. So what do you say if you're a person of good character?
Satan's presence??? Oh my gosh! Hilarious! You make grammar THE COOLEST thing since sliced bread! So glamorous, really.
Did you know the word grammar came from the word glamour? (I'm sure you did know that but I wanted you to know I too know that fact. :) Great post!
What hilarious examples. No, DON'T buy a car on Craigslist no matter how the owner claims it runs! :)

this is the internet, the domain of fantasy, so i have mad respect for WHOMever and WHOever answers #3 with B
Loved this! But I'd just be glad my first grader was writing a word longer than "cat"! :)
Bummer. I took the quiz, but the high school denied access to the quiz results. I'll have to return to find out how I did.
Hilarious!!
I am not a grammar snob, but I am a speller snob. It irks me when people misspell things on Facebook!!

I guess I'm very forgiving of poor grammar. Living in the South, I have to be!

I am 25% and neutral. My spelling is stronger than my grammar so I could never be a snob.
Love this quiz! I'm a grammar snob. No surprise there!
the final one totally cracked me up!!!
I LOVE THIS. I love you.
