Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Grammar-Nazi

Beware the grammar-nazi Brit,

whose comments tend to make you spit;

he’ll analyse your every word,

and label them as quite absurd.

 

He’ll witter on and on and on,

as if he was a paragon;

instead from spouting all that gas,

he’s closer to a horse’s ass.

Provocative stuff - and surely intentionally so. But all art has its
basic rules - and writing is surely included.
Far be it from me to be contrary
But a favourite friend is my dictionary,
And the editor of my thumbed Thesaurus
Never had the intent to annoy or bore us.
To misspell words and misuse grammar
Should send a writer to the "slammer". (American slang for prison) ?
