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.

Sometimes I misuse "literally" because the purpose of the word has been called to my attention enough times that it becomes an intended act of absurdity. I don't know that this works, because it's buried under at least three layers of interpretation that don't exist unless you know they're there, but whatever!

Lots of things about language are like that! I don't personally use literally that way but it's not like I can't understand what it means, geez, and everyone who insists that they don't is just lying.
