Does the fact that I compulsively edit the blogs, comments, and books I read, make me a Grammar Cop? At least I don’t edit the phone texts people send me. Much. 😏

I am guilty of grammar policing, at least in my head. I refrain from indicating the grammatical flaws of others’ writing to them, unless I’m peer-editing. At that point, you asked for it.

Same here, I do it in my head. Sometimes I drive myself a bit batty doing that!

Sometimes my internal editing manifests itself in outward displays of exasperation, which my sister, often nearby, witnesses and lets pass without comment. (She knows me too well.)

When I was in college, I was proofreader for the school newspaper and also had a part-time job as a professor’s assistant. The latter involved reading through all of my boss’s freshman students’ essays and correcting their grammar, spelling, and punctuation. (You can imagine how many red pens I went through in the process.) That was forty-plus years ago, but I still do it (mentally) to almost everything I read.

I do that, too. 🙂 (Writing major)

I do it as a writing enthusiast and English language/literature nerd, which I think is similar enough. Tee-hee.

I love it! I shall wear it with pride.
By the way, I never have to mentally correct your grammar, Bluebird. Your writing is impeccable.

You mean those three and a half years I spent earning my BA in English weren’t a waste of time after all? 🙂

I’ve said it before: you aren’t a bitter bluebird, you are a brilliant bluebird. But too modest to say so.

Well, aren’t you sweet! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️Some of my other blogging buddies might not agree with you, however. One in particular used to alternate between calling me the bluebird of bossiness and the bluebird of bitchiness — intended affectionately, of course. At least I think it was intended affectionately…

Find yourself an unemployed English major (there are loads of them) and hire him/her to proofread for you. 🙂

I am sure you found all my mistakes in my comment 🙂 Actually, English is my second language. I have often looked back over my stuff (after putting it out there), and have felt so foolish for all the mistakes I have made. Yesterday, I finally asked a friend to proofread for me. Funny, you should mention proofreading.
I appreciate your writing! I think for someone to be funny, they have to be intelligent … You are VERY funny!

Awww, thanks, Heidi. ❤️
I admire your courage, blogging in a language that is not your first. I dabbled in several different languages during my school days, but never became fluent enough in any of them to write — let alone publish! — anything in them. I envy people who are truly bilingual/ multilingual. I should have concentrated on mastering just one foreign language, instead of dabbling in so many.
