AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.Summary: speak the way you learned in high school English, or else you sound like a "chimp." I couldn't even read it anymore when I got to the part about using the subjunctive mood correctly, because seriously? Who the hell even notices the subjunctive mood in English anymore?

These are the things that darken my day.

I know this is mean of me, but I can't help but wonder if this was written by a bitter, bitter former (or current) English major. People who are THIS STUPID about grammar are like those Math majors who are like "Can you do math? Oh wait no you can't but _I_ can." (And other majors have their own issues; that was just the first one I can think of.)

I can't imagine any other way this could be. Who sits down in their spare time and rises again a fanatic defender of proper subject/predicate agreement.

Pretty much anyone with a formal education could pick up the stupid rules he's insisting on, though I don't know how many people would actually, uh, care. ENGLISH MAJOR SEEMS LIKELY, I mean, especially since he seems to be writing a blog semi-professionally and all.
