The teacher told the children to get their notebooks and pencils out and copy what is written on the blackboard. A voice at the rear of the class says, 'I ain't got a pencil.' The teacher corrects him by saying: 1. I have not got a pencil. 2. You have not got a pencil. 3. He has not got a pencil. 4. She has not got a pencil. 5. We have not got any pencils. 6. They have not got any pencils. The kid responds, 'where are all the fucking pencils?'

I don't consider myself a grammar nazi, and I am not perfect, but there's a limit. I have coworkers who cannot compose an email that even makes sense. Forget the Oxford comma. These people could be WH speech writers.

                                        i just think its funny 2 watch some people let a bit of bad spelling or a misused word or some other such nonsense get them all worked up. some people r good at this and some at that. so what if one of their things isnt grammar, if its that big of an issue 4 u, find other people 2 talk 2. no reason 2 attack someone

                                        I do appreciate proper grammar, but I'm not going to be anal about it.

@mistymoon77 true, but there is something to be said for eloquence.
@mistymoon77 as long as i understand it
I'm not part of the 'grammar police', we are not writing an essay for an exam, but, grammar is a key part of communicating efficiently. It can be quite irritating reading a passage several times over, to try to understand the authors intention. I sympathise completely with people who struggle with the language, so, I don't comment on their errors. However, if you are getting corrected by people, see it as a part of learning. I don't know it all, but, when I make a mistake, I learn from it. I also proof-read my comments, to try to avoid any faux pas.

                                        When some word seems out of place in a post I look at my keyboard for the closet letter and think, " oh that's what they meant to type". No big deal to me, guilty myself at times of that.

                                        Many years ago, I had a job working on a railroad repair crew. Some of my coworkers were to put it mildly "rough around the edges." One Monday morning one of them said: "hey, look at my new tattoo!" He had taken a razor blade and in large block letters carved a "tattoo" onto the back of his hand and filled it in with ink. "It read " BORN TO LOOSE"
This is when I decided to NOT become a grammar police officer 
@PappyOnWings i saw one that just said born to loos
As a grammar pedant, thanks for the reminder. It's not worth getting worked up about though.
