*&%^(#$!@*&$?#^% Grammar RAGE
Oh my f-ing Lord! AGAIN! I saw it just two seconds ago! Stop it, people, before I have a coronary! Or use any more exclamation points in my grammar RAGE!!!!
And dismay. Let's not forget the soul-eating dismay over the state of capitals and punctuation in dialogue. I need someone sitting by me and hitting me in the face when I even think of reading fanficiton these days. I'm pretty sure I'm developing an ulcer and an unattractive facial tic from this state of affairs.
I really just do not understand how this is happening. There cannot possibly be this many people who don't know the rules of quotations. I need to research the grammar rules of every other country to find out if it's that much different from standard English usage, and maybe things are getting lost in translation.
