I do what I want

I write how I think

90% feeling

10% logic

Correct me if you'd like

but there is a 100% chance I won't listen

I put it down as it comes out

you read the parts of me I choose to share

Which in tells a dish of terrible spelling with a side of askew grammar

I'm in love with my incorrect me

you and I will learn our lesson

when talking about yourself in addition to another person, there are two rules to follow:

1. put the other person ( or Peale) before yourself

ex. peter and I went to the store

NOT "I and Peter went to the store"

2. say "I" or "me" etc. the same as you would without the addition of the other person or people

ex: "peter and I went to the store"

NOT "peter and me went to the store"

because if Peter hadn't gone with you, you would say "I went to the store" NOT "me went to the store"

Ain’t

Ain't ain't a word because it ain't in the dictionary!

They're= they are

Their= belongs to them

There = somewhere an object exists

You're = you are

Your = something that shouldn't exist because everything should be mine.

Grammar

Your grammar is part of who you are and as such is unique to you. It doesn't matter a jot to me that your grammar lacks anything, it's you that is important.

If you can put across what you mean to say, and be understood, then your grammar is fine.

Having said that, should you wish to improve your grammar for any reason then my best advice is to either take a class, or find instruction online. Your grammar and how you speak and write should never hold you back in life.

Provided of course unless you plan on becoming a teacher, or editor of some periodical. Good luck to you.

So What?

While you might think something was "such fun" or "so much fun," I can assure you, it wasn't (nor shall it ever be) "so fun." Never. I might also point out the misuse of anxious versus eager. And while we're at it, you can only feel "badly" if your hands are numb. This concludes my grammar rant for the day. Thank you for your patience.

Graaammmaaarrrr

Their classroom is over there where they're studying. Semicolons are tough; you never really know where they go. Colons are easier: they're for lists, extra information, (optional comma) or special parts of the text. Run on sentences are really really annoying and they happen everywhere whether you want them to or not and if I were you I would avoid them at all costs. Maybe I can give you examples of some wrong sentences. But maybe not. And I'm not always correct, so check my mistakes? All sentences need to have a subject. The subject if this sentence is all sentences. The subject of this sentence is that the last sentence's subject was about all sentences. See what I mean? I hope you found this helpful and have a nice day :)
