Do you have a friend who corrects every word you misspell? And cringes on every wrong pronunciation you make? Like their only purpose to be alive in this ever-so-happening world, is to pin point at your petty lingual mistakes. In that moment you want to kill them. Choke them around the neck and kill them! But then they happen to be right and you make a dorky face and let it pass! Do you have such friend or am I the only one doomed? Words like poignant, petulant, nonchalant, bourgeois….I would have never known how these words are spoken(rightly) if not for this nemesis cum friend. I am seeing her tomorrow after quite a few days. Looking forward to the trouble. :-). <3.
I am kind of that guy, but none of my friends write. -_-
Oo..then may be you could correct random strangers..but people take offense at times..
Well, that’s exactly what I had been doing. And they sure do. I think I should stop doing that.
Totally on your discretion. :).
Yes, of course. 🙂
I was once this nemesis. Now I find myself referring to google on spelling! ; )
haha…me too! Google keeps our back..
I feel for ya! ((( hugs)))) 💔
Oops ❤️
Hehe..thank you <3 <3
Please remove r from friend and see what it means. Keep loving ur friends if they are critical The blog is refreshing and straight on. Just loved the originality
I know…fiend..i was gifted a locket once that said fiend.. :-).. I guess friends have to turn fiend sometimes for our good. And thank you Parveen.
I’m a grammar nazi too, though I have given up trying to teach people the correct usage of words. 🙂
You are…? Tough task ahead mate..I am mostly concerned on my own usage..(yeah little self centered in this case) 🙂
Like I said before, I’ve given up trying to teach! 😀
alright…seems like a much thought over decision of yours. :-).
:D, experience is a good teacher!
oh yes! can’t argue there.. 🙂
Is she a grammar Nazi or what? I hope that is not all that she has to contribute 😕
Oh certainly not Jacqueline..she has a lot many things to contribute, this being one of them. :-). And grammar Nazi…yeah totally! 😀
Good! We will just manage her. After all, each of us have our quirky sides too 🙂
Yeah we do… 🙂
I’m fine with bowing to people with gooder grammar than me. Saym wet speling. They’re called editors, and they make me sounder smarter than I am. 😀 Plus, sometimes, I learn sumpin’.
Haha…I get your point right on!! The learning part is always good.
Have fun and learn new words and then maybe you can teach the likes of me..:)
Lucky are you who has a friend who tells you the right way.. its the hardest thing to do these days..
And you can teach me too! Words are boundless. And lucky…sure..it is kind of hard to find good friends. :-).
I feel you are lucky to have such friends around…vocabulary in the motion! I am very particular about pronunciation and would love inputs 🙂
Well if you say so…:)! And I don’t like making grammatical errors too, but I am not very particular about correcting others.
No harm in correcting others, but some people take it otherwise and it gets complicated then.
Yes, I agree.
Having your pronunciation or your grammar corrected is okay if it’s done discreetly and without that jarring air of “superiority.” I once mispronounced the word “pariah.” I said something like pa ree ah. The friend I happened to be with burst out laughing. Oh you mean pa ri ah. Then he made some crappy remark. I avoided him for a good while after that, but to tell the truth, I started using my dictionary more! And we’re still friends.
oh! very relatable incident. And yeah I agree with you here. That “air of superiority”, I cannot take it very well either. It shouldn’t end friendships though..:). Cool that you are still friends!
I am forever pronouncing words wrong….my daughter just hugs me and corrects me nicely…I normally say, sorry about the pronunciation of the word but its the best I can do…and I don’t let it bother me….its all on them if it bothers them…I told them I have trouble…LOL
🙂 That is sweet. I do that to my mom too. And it shouldn’t bother you after all!
nope never has…..
I know people of my specie are looked upon that way. 😛 Yep, I actually AM that friend. *Guilty*
It’s a inner trouble to be a Grammar Nazi. Sorry on behalf of our kind. 😛
*an inner trouble
haha…yes I see your point clearly. And you don’t have to be sorry…it is because of your kind, our kind speaks writes whispers correctly..:D from the fear or caution or respect! Together we can dwell on literature in peace..:-)!
Haww… Love you sweetheart! 😜 😁
ah! speak of the devil..
[devil grins] 😀
This annoys me to the core but then I m like mera he faida hoga
Hehe…yeah same here…it is useful in hindsight..thanks for scrolling through my posts.. 🙂
Your words are always like epiphany of my mind
:-). That’s sweet of you to say..thank you so much.
I have a friend just like this ! Thanks for following my blog!
Cool, and my pleasure. :)!
