Grammar5Oh!

Yes, I do realize that this blog is about grammar, but I feel like this should be talked about...

No, we don't eat your soul, kill your children, or punch cancer babies.

We strive to rid the world of bad grammar by any means necessary.

Joining the Grammar5Oh! would entitle you to correct anyone's grammar. Whether it's your teacher, best friend, or family member...

Results may vary.

The Grammar5Oh are not to be held responsible for groundings, bullying, being called offensive words, or physical injuries.

Please contact your doctor if you suffer from depression, because Grammar5Oh may not be for you.

Side effects may be: loss of friends, sanity, and sleep. You may experience your teachers following you. Do not fear. They are only drawn to your amazing grammar skills.

Remember, ninjas hate bad grammar...

That's such a simple question. And you'd think that the answer would be just as simple, but in all actuality, would it?
Really, why is grammar important?
According to grammar.about.com:
Grammar is important because it is the language that makes it possible for us to talk about language. Grammar names the types of words and word groups that make up sentences not only in English but in any language. As human beings, we can put sentences together even as children--we can all do grammar. But to be able to talk about how sentences are built, about the types of words and word groups that make up sentences--that is knowing about grammar. And knowing about grammar offers a window into the human mind and into our amazingly complex mental capacity.


Well, that really doesn't tell what it's about... in my opinion at least.
To me, grammar is important because it proves your intelligence. It tells people that you're sophisticated, and at the least, that you aren't lazy.
But, if someone has a reason for not using correct grammar, that's fine. But if you just leave out apostrophes and commas just because you're in a hurry to write/type/text something, that's annoying.
Perhaps shortening words in text messaging and online is acceptable at times, like if you're in a hurry or something, or if your phone's keyboard is just too little and confusing to figure out how to add commas and apostrophes. That's fine, I guess...
Also, I have another "pet peeve" (is that spelled right?)
My English teacher went over this in class today.
Whether you're online, texting, or writing a note, you can always use the correct form of a word.
Example:
We are having a sell this weekend.
Sell should be spelled sale. Not sell, not cell, and most definitely, not sail.
Unless, of course, you have an acceptable excuse for doing so. I can only think of two. And chances are, you aren't doing either of those, so you should think about what you type/write. Just saying, y'know. Opinion.


But anyways, I have rambled enough, and I'm way off topic now, so I think I'm gonna go for a walk or something. xD

Grammar5Oh is a group of five teenage friends who refuse to fall victim to the unbearable disease that's commonly referred to as "text talk"
Wen sum1 talks lik dis, it not only makes them look retarded, it also proves their laziness and lack of enthusiasm.
So, the Grammar5Oh is here to break that chain!
We're here to prove that being a teenager doesn't mean you're an idiot, and it doesn't mean you can't use grammar skills!
Originally, we referred to ourselves as the Grammar Nazis, but, to avoid strife, we changed the name to Grammar5Oh.
The group is broken down into useless categories, which include:
Dustin Fox- President
Ema Alexander- Vice President
Shelly Lowenstein- Secretary
Aaron Main- Treasurer
Juan Escalante- Asst. Secretary (haha)

This blog is a memoir of our adventures in the Grammar5Oh, and it consists of tales about how ignorant people refuse to use grammar, as well as other things that pertain to grammar and the use of it.
But, we aren't here to talk about people and bully them. We're just trying to make people realize that text talking isn't, well, cool. However, we will never, never mention names or call anyone out. And if you feel like we're talking to or about about you, contact us, and we'll gladly modify or delete the post that concerns you, because we aren't here to be doodie heads. xD
There are some categories (or, there will soon be) on the right of this post, and all posts for that matter. You can use those categories to filter posts by their author, topic, and grammar category (online, verbal, text, hand, etc). But, since we don't have that many posts, there aren't that many categories.

Ok, so now, let's meet the authors (in alphabetical order), shall we?

Aaron Smith-
Salutations reader,
I'm not a so called Grammar Nazi, meaning I [won't] come and hunt you down for a simple mistake but I do believe you should put forth an effort when writing to another human being whether it be a text or e-mail. I am a devoted Christian, and believe in the word of God but I do not force my beliefs on people. Along with the rest of the gang, we strive to do our best with grammar, which makes our English teacher happy. I enjoy reading, listening to music, and using the computer regularly. When I'm not doing that I can usually be found with those people I call friends. I try to be nice too everyone but treat me differently and forget it.
Now you know about me
P.S.- I'm a very sarcastic person so you have been warned!
Ema Alexander-
Hi, I'm Ema. Sophomore at you know where. Most important dates of my life: 01-06-95 (Birthday) & 12-29-2009 (The most amazing person came into my life; Keith Taylor Hall<3) My friends are aight. I'm the mean one of our group I suppose. I guess Dustin and I are. I love music, books, converse, an hanging out at the pond. Pretty much, if you can't use proper grammar, I'm not going to like you. Sure, I talk with and accent like everyone else in the south, but unlike some people, I learned my grammar in first grade. I'm not making fun of people with learning disorders or anything, but if there isn't anything wrong with you, you shouldn't have an excuse for not knowing how to use grammar. This blog is completely of our opinions and if you don't have anything nice to say, then just shut your friggin face and don't comment on it. Have a nice day(:

Dustin Fox-
Hey! My name's Dustin, but I go by many different things, such as Dusty, Dustyn, Dussy Ray, and Dustbucket. Some of my nicknames confuse me, so don't worry if they don't make sense.
I'm 15, and I'm a sophomore at the school I attend. I'm choosing to keep my school and hometown a secret, because God only knows who reads this blog.
Speaking of God, I call myself a Christian, because I've been saved and I go to a baptist church in my hometown. It's not a big church, but then again, it's not a little one.
I have an opinion, and I'm not afraid to express it. I dress funny. Or, at least, the people around me say I dress funny.
Anyways, I joined the Grammar5Oh because it annoys me so much when people know grammar, but refuse to use it. Especially online.
They say I'm the president, but why, I don't know. I'm not a very good leader, so why should I be the head of the group?
Haha anyways, I'm going to go so someone else can talk about themselves... Have a nice day!


Shelly Lowenstein-
(Shelly still hasn't sent in a descriptive paragraph...)
