Why I Stopped Being a Grammar Snob
Personally, I am a big Grammar Snob. It annoys me to no end when folks pronounce something incorrectly or say something which is grammatically incorrect. It is even more infuriating when they insist their version is correct. One such example, “The past tense on know is knew. Hence, thats why I say ‘I didnt Knew’ ”
This article is interesting because it speaks about theoretical vs. practical usage of words.
Why do we say what we say? To communicate. And in the social context, we completely understand what the other person is saying. However, we prefer the Queen’s English and prefer poiniting out the grammatical incongruities.

Who is Craig from Craigslist?
Something that I should have thought about, but I never gave it much attention. Who is the person after whom Craigslist is named after?

Desi Puns
One for all my Indian Friends out there, Puns that only Indians will get 😛
Something to the tune of ” They released The Necklace in Bollywood. It was a Hindi pendant film.”
(Independent, for those who didnt get the pun ..)
