Each one of us has at least one such friend who corrects our grammar, speaks in correct language, and uses original words while chatting and message-ing. All of us are a little too scared of them when we have to argue with them in ‘English’ for they smartly take the entire argument to English and once in a while correct our grammar during the argument. We hate them because we are embarrassed of those errors we make but we love them too.
These poor Grammar Nerds or Grammar Nazis not just go through this, they go through the following 27 unfair things too.
