Guilty of bad grammar? Off with your internet!

June 28, 2012

I’ve earned quite a reputation for being a bit of a stickler for grammar. Some may even call me a grammar nazi. I can’t deny the fact that I (mostly) silently correct people’s grammar on the internet ALL of the time. The wrong use of its vs. it’s makes me cringe and holding back from my instinct to correct the culprit(s) makes me anxious. Wouldn’t it be great if this set of Internet CAPTCHAs, created by Matthew Baldwin, really did exist to help create a peaceful online experience? Well, at least for me.

Get them wrong? Access to the internet not allowed (not not aloud)!
