This is literally one of my pet peeves

Okay, I guess I won't waste any time getting started here. For my inaugural-oh, wait...this is a blog. I can't use big words. For my first rant, I'll be talking about something that has been on my mind for quite some time now and that is the misuse of the word literally. You know what I'm talking about. Unless of course, you don't. If that's the case though, pay attention, because you're probably an offender.
"He would literally turn over in his grave if they heard what they did to his song!" Really? How would you even know that? Are you some sort of grave digger? Secondly, holy crap. That means we've got a pretty freakin' mad zombie on our hands. You better get your shotgun ready because the you-know-what is about to hit the fan.
"Some of this book's images literally pop out at you." Ugh. Am I gonna need to buy 3D glasses to read this thing? Those babies aren't cheap you know. I don't care if it's a classic, I don't want to have wear the old red and blues just to be able to read Lord of the Flies.
So please, just find a way to replace literally in your conversations. That's all I ask. Well, until my next rant. If you have any grammar issues you want me to rant about, please leave a comment and I'll try to cover it soon!

Well, hello there...

Hello, internet! Please welcome the newest blog to enter the world of anonymity! Actually, if you are reading this right now, thank you so much. The gist of this blog is that I've been noticing a depressingly large amount of bad grammar used online and, well... in real life. So my hope with this blog is to address some of these problems. I know. That probably sounds worse than watching Norbit on continuous loop. However, I hope that I'll be able to make it funny enough to justify actually having a blog, since as we all know, everything on the internet is either important or funny. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
