Jonathan can testify to the fact that I’m a bit of a grammar stickler. Okay, I’m a huge grammar fanatic. My eyes twitch and I’m sent into fits of rage when I see an improper use of their, they’re, or there. I’ve decided I need these stickers – while I can’t save the world from the improper use of an apostrophe, at least with these trusty sidekicks, I can do my part.

    Love it! Have you read Eats, Shoots and Leaves? Inspired by that book, I actually carried a Sharpie for a while. Yes, it’s a sickness . . . .

    Liene – I haven’t read it but I’m checking it out on amazon right now! Sounds like a must-read for people like us :)

    This made me laugh because I’m the same way! I actually called the newspaper once to tell them that an ad was incorrect. The next week, it was fixed.

    I don’t know who’s idea it was for you too post something like this. I think that person should get there head checked. Grammar is it’s own beast.

    Probably was Jonathans’ idea.

    Whitney, I also am annoyingly picky about grammar issues.. I try to hide it as I get tired of the eye rolling from others. I blamed my English background, but am happy to note that it might just be a universal issue.It hurts my ears…..At a meeting once and was totally distracted by the grammar and missed the point of the whole discussion.The problem was really how annoyed I was.. kind of in a rage mmm..

    I am right there with you on this. You may not be this sort of person, but I find these to be also extremely fitting as I hate it when people park terribly (though I’m actually too chicken to really use one and haven’t purchased any):

    I’m teaching 8th grade English this year. I want about 140 of these stickers, one for each student of mine. Brilliant.
