I seem to spend an horrific amount of time turning my nose up at people's mindless grammatical errors and careless spelling mistakes. The fact that I aced all my primary school literacy does not make me a better person. I should stop shaking my head over people's Facebook statuses, tutting at poorly executed restaurant menus and spending half my shift at work pecking at the keyboard, ensuring proper nouns begin with capital letters. Ah, if only I could put a stop to these heinous crimes against our written English word!
And then the painful reality check: Honey, no one really cares these days.
Ouch, my heart. Sigh.
Whilst I'm at it, I should stop rudely butting in to bark the pleases and the thank yous in where they been omitted (accidentally, I'm sure).
What happened to us?? I am such a Nanna. I just cannot accept poor grammar and lax manners. Smarten up, Australia!
