On Social Media graduates

Have you ever been called a "grammar nerd"? Or do you like any of those Facebook pages that are for grammar lovers? How about seen online posts that make fun of people that mistake "their" for "they're" or other homonyms that are misused or misspelled?

I think that all of the situations above are making us stupid. That's simply put, but I will elaborate. Just because you know the difference between some basic everyday words does not make you a grammar lover. Just because you spotted a mistake in your friend's post about something that has absolutely no importance does not make you smart. The last thing we need in this already despot ruled society is people who want a medal for knowing their mother language. Yes, it can be funny and probably most of us have done it, either been the correctors or the misspellers. But let's face it, the only thing that will make you smarter are books. That's pretty narrow minded, but you get the idea. And they hold the benefit of helping your grammar as a bonus.

So to all those self-proclaimed "grammar-nazzis", despite how readerly you might think you are, be happy with the use of your English, and let other's basic English be. 

And on a secondary note in the same field, buzzfeed.com should never, ever be your source of information for anything. If you're looking to pass time and Facebook isn't cutting it, why not pick up a book? Or the newspaper, but for god' sake, let's not make our society's most outspoken people more stupid than they already are.
