I don't personally care very much, but I try to get it right when I write and talk, and I have a very tiny eye twitch when I see it wrong; not a big eye twitch, just a small one.Context so you know exactly what level of language asshole pedant I am:Almost no eye twitch: It's time to lay down for the nightSmall eye twitch: It was a phone call for Jenny and IMedium eye twitch: This is how it looks like (but also I smile and think this one is cute, for some reason)Big eye twitch: I will never step foot in that house againGigantic eye twitch and someone in the house has to talk me down from writing a 500-word reply-rant: This is based off of...#grammar #english #language #pedantry #IKnowIAmWrong
