Grammar Nazi's
Consider this as an open letter to all those Grammar Nazis out there.
You people are great.
I seriously commend your ability to spot errors.
You surely make a wonderful Monitoring and continuous improvement team.
But hang on for a moment, I must save some praises for the end.
A sweet dessert always helps after some hot chilly and tongue-enthralling spices. Let us start then.
What I want to say is are we already a generation that ridicules emotions just because something is not written in a way that is correct according to the reference books.
Can't we leave it to the formal desks where it matters the most?
Aren't we already facing a communication breakdown in this huge interconnected world?
Isn't it completely and blatantly unfair of us to stop someone from saying something only because they don't say it the way we were theoretically taught?
I am seriously against the grammar nazism on social networks and young budding writers. To me, social media is a medium for the world to connect. To connect beyond boundaries and differences. We seriously can't allow your immense love for either grammar or perfection to ruin that.
Why are we so quick to judge and not just judge but troll someone for being imperfect?
Aren't we a part of that same infamous, not-so-glorious, never-ending and imperfect clan?
I also want to ask a few selective unknown individuals or rather I should say intellectuals of the same Grammar nazi community.
Why run after perfect grammatical use in informal conversations?
The most beautiful pieces of text in any language could be grammatically incorrect. They should be allowed to be grammatically incorrect.
Writing is not about accuracy, it's not about perfect grammar, neither vocabulary or many syllable words.
For once I can say it's not even about words, It is all about emotions.
Meaningless, incomplete and unpolished words stringed together beautifully as jewels in emotions. Grammar is a great gem to be attributed to a crown but the emotion is the crown itself. Without grammar, the crown may feel incomplete but without emotions, it won't exist.
What comes from earth tearing sadness,
From broken hearts,
From depressed minds,
From unbearable pain,
From a wounded nerve,
From a life-changing emotion,
From the superlative of life and the experience of death
What comes and whatever comes from within needs not be perfect.
Neither are you. Nor am I.
Perfection suits myths and not reality and the absence of perfection all around is a great proof.
All said and done you beautiful souls should surely take all opportunities to improve us. I wish the good does give you grace marks for making us all better humans. [Or grammatically better humans :-) ]
That's it for dessert and apologies on the table for anyone who felt bad about reading this or about any grammatical errors spotted
