I've often been told that I'm too picky when it comes to spelling and grammar.

Facebook Status

Saw this on a friend's status today:
I'm not super hot or gorgeous. I don't have an amazing figure or a flat stomach. I'm far from being considered a model, but I'm ME! I eat food, have curves, love to wear my PJ's, and will go without make up. I'm random and crazy, and I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. I am who I am, love me or not. It won't change ME!!! I'm the real deal!!! Ladies put this on your status if your proud of who you are


And I had to put it on my status, but I also had to correct it before posting:

Introduction

Hi, I'm the Spelling and Grammar Nazi. My friends call me Esther. Ever since I learned to read and write, I've been obsessed with correct spelling and grammar. I have a photographic memory for how to spell words, I've read hundreds of books, and I have an English Major. I love language. Reading is one of my favourite pastimes, but it irritates me when something is incorrect.
I'm going to use this blog to rant about mistakes I find on the Internet and other places. The World Wide Web is full of horrible spelling and grammar, so I will probably be able to find a lot of fodder online, but I have seen some incredibly bad, sometimes hilarious, grammatical errors on signs, in magazines, in newspapers, even in books.
Follow me and you just might learn something. :)
