Grammar God!
You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!


How grammatically sound are you?

I guess I should bow down to your superiority in this category. I was an English major, but I am only a master of the Englich langauge. I like to tell people that I was a literature major, not a grammmar major. Being the grammar God you are means that you probably see many mistakes in this post already. Oh well.

Just a missing comma or two... and well, there seems to be an extra m in "grammmar." :P

That's Grammar GoddESS, folks. Me, too, by the way, though you wouldn't know it to read my posts. And I have to admit, I went by instinct and not actual knowledge of the rules on some of the questions, but instinct serves me well, apparently.

I "use the force" when editing text too -- well, ok, I couple reading since the age of three, and MS Word's grammar checker, and get things right most of the time.

The problem is - I work as a secretary for a boss who immigrated from Iran in the 60s, and spent a lot of his life before then taking classes in English. He IS a good speaker - and a halfway-to-decent writer. Unlike most people in the U.S. who learn English by instinct, he CAN properly argue the rules of construction.

Except when he's wrong. More to the point, when he tells me to put a sentence in correspondence that is technically correct (by some vague definitions of correct), but in general use the sentence screams *THIS IS SO FRICKIN WRONG!!!!*

And what can I say about it? "Ummm... it's wrong because ... I feel a great disturbance in the force?"

grrrrrrrrr ...

Master!
You are a MASTER of the English language!


While your English is not exactly perfect,
you are still more grammatically correct than
just about every American. Still, there is
always room for improvement...
