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?"
Hahahahah, despite having heard that joke mutiple times before, it still makes me.laugh everytime! Great post! @sharingeverybite's post about breaking grammar rules was really good as well, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
SO true.
SO funny.
I think you need to give yourself a little more credit! First, your posts are witty and funny as all get out! Second, you might not know aaaallllll the ins and outs about grammar and sentence structure, but you know leagues more than most people.
Besides, with my help, you know how to use hyphens properly, which is all that really matters. 😂
I'll be writing and realize I just used forms of "I" ten times in a single paragraph. Again, I just used it three times in one sentence.
The I's have it!
haha! Awesome! Keep on keepin on
haha, nice ending to the story! are you from Alabama ? :)
Thanks for reading to the end. I grew up in Minnesota, living in Arizona. Yourself?
I can say for myself, that Im a horrible writer but I love to read, thanks for the list of suggestions for good writers :)
No problem. Thanks for checking out my post!
I am a horrible writer but too lazy to even work to get myself better
