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.

...You know, I actually assumed the example that dude was hypothetical (and thus ign'ant), but your comment and looking at the way it was worded again made me realize that it might well have actually happened to him. In which case, a) how would he know how literate or not she was, and b) how much of a jerk was he being to prompt a response like that? But yeah, agreeing that if this actually occurred, she might have talked like that because of her audience. Who knows, we don't know the rest of the context here.
