So recently I have been noticing that I am speaking weirdly. I have been trying to differentiate the possessive `your’ and the contracted `you’re’. As you all know, English is a language which isn’t designed for this kind of thing. That is why the internet and the online discussions for your sociology course are full of:

“YOUR GAY.”
“I believe that technology will play a big part in our future. For example, when your going driving, you take youre ipod and listen to it in the car. People couldn’t do that in the 1600s.”

I have been a grammar nazi for some time now, and perhaps my new speech impediment has surfaced as an unconscious reaction to the injustices dealt against grammar EVERY DAY on forums and in bulletin boards and in the exercise books for high school students.

TAKE BACK THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

WE SHALL NOT
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
WE SHALL NOT
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
JUST LIKE A TREE THAT’S STANDING BY THE WATERSIDE
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
