I like, like LikeLikes
Time for another Grammar Gripe(Tm). As you can probably tell, this gripe is about the overuse of like. A common sentence of an average teenager, "I, like, totally, like, like food." abbreviated, "I like food." so save yourself some time and breath and cut back on the use of like and totally. A side note, LikeLikes do exist in the land of Hyrule, they eat your shield. Have a nice Easter.

All about me
You may be thinking that I am posting about how everyone else's grammar is bad, but what about mine. The irony of this blog is that I usually post with bad grammar the first time, then my mom looks and spots many misspellings and grammar mess ups. Just today, in fact, I said I hoped VERYONE was counting down the days till Christmas. So really, I have no room to gripe, but I'll still do it. Just because I mess up doesn't mean everyone else has to. Merry Christmas!

Me, Myself, and I
By reader request I shall gripe about bad grammar some more. Today's topic is me, myself, and I, literally. The other day, me and ponyta went to the barn, WRONG. It may sound nice but it is WRONG. The right way to say it is Ponyta and I went to the barn. That's all I can think of at the moment, but give me what bothers you below in your comments.

grammar gripes #1
Today, I am starting a series of posts about grammar mistakes that drive me nuts. First mistake on the agenda, ending your sentences with "at". When people say "Where are you at?" not only do they waste their breath, they also kill the english language. Another thing that ending sentences with at does is make the person sound stupid. That's all for now.
