Hello,
I hate when people correct other people's grammatical mistakes... If you know what someone is saying, it's just plain bull shit rude to correct them. I don't walk around correcting people's speech... "so, waddya gonna do tanight?" I don't say "correct pronunciation is: so, what are you going to do tonight" Get the fuck off your high horse I say...
And besides, we all know,
I am sunshine and I am THE grammar goddess... behold the proof:
