Gotta artifically bump this thread

Yeah, I hate it when this drops off of the first page. It's like a attempt to end Grammar Nazism...

Slang is technically still correct grammar as it's basically just an English dialect. If you don't consider slang to be proper grammar, then you're saying that all dialects are improper grammar which is untrue.
Also, I'm somewhat a prescriptivist (I still don't know whether I can consider myself one) and I use slang too.

Lol, I gotta go with Things2do. To be honest, I had to search up "Prescriptivists" when I first saw this thread. I prefer Grammar Nazi more.

Why hide what you are? You can never please all of the people all of the time, so please yourself. It's Grammar Nazi.

Yes, it's "readable." However, the corrections make it even more so. Besides, how do you know how easily I can fix it?

Putting punctuation outside quotation marks is more logical, no (unless it's included in the quote)?
