@mrsjazz: ED? I have a bad habit of two spaces after a period because I learned it that way in elementary school. I try to remember not to but I forget often.
-
@mrsjazz: @rainbowsprinkles: i hate it when my serial comma constantly gets corrected by my coworker. I don't know how to tell her that it's not wrong without sounding like an ass...
-
Ketchup, pierogies, kielbasa, and fireworks displays!
-
@googly-eyes: Sorry, Executive Director
I was taught two spaces, too. I changed! Ha. I majored in journalism in college and 2 spaces after the period was unacceptable.@Freckles: I don't mind sounding like an ass. I sent everyone in the office an article about the double space after a period and a meme about the serial comma with an FYI. I wear my asshole badge proudly.
-
@mrsjazz: where I work, we use the Chicago Manual of Style. Serial commas are a must!
-
@mrsjazz: Ummm, i would like to see this meme please!
-
@Freckles: And here you are.
-
@mrsjazz: LOL, thank you! saved as my wallpaper for my coworkers to see.
-
@mrsjazz: Oh. My. Goodness. I love it! I thought that last comma was optional, but I suppose I'll start using it now! (while looking for funny accidental meanings!)
-
@Swurlygurl: Oh my, that's hilarious, just laughed out loud in my office. I am also DEFINITELY a snob about penises!
-
Apple pie. My family's pie is the best and it's very tricky to get me to like any others.
-
I'm a font/type snob but it's my job to be so
-
Meat. We buy grass fed beef (hormone free) and Amish chicken.
-
Apple products and my Honda over domestic car companies.
-
@mrsjazz: this is great!!
-
@mrsjazz: ahhh that is hilarious!
I'm a snob about fonts and paper, but I'm a stationery designer so it sort of comes with the territory.
-
I'm definitely a snob about the ingredients I use in my cooking, and to a lesser extent, coffee drinks. If I'm going to spend $5 on a drink -- it had better be good!
-
I'm a total snob about LO's clothes! And my own, I guess...not that I won't do second-hand cuz I totally will but more in that I prefer certain brands and hate putting them in cheap fabrics, haha!
-
@mrsjazz: bahahah I love it. And I TOTALLY agree about the comma. I was taught to use it in high school, and then told not to in college. I asked my mom and she said that someone who teaches you to use it, you can basically tell their age
I guess teaching kids NOT to use it is the new normal.
-
@cyndistar3: YESSSSSS. DH didn't get why I had to have a specific brand until I explained how it feels wiping with one-ply.
-
@Mrs. Pen: haha dh is actually the one that made me this way, I never knew any better before but that's the only thing he will use now he has ruined me!
-
I had no idea it was outdated to use 2 spaces after a period!
-
Seats on an airplane. I do not want to sit in the back or in the middle.
-
@mrsjazz: LOL!!! So funny and it explains a lot. Thanks for sharing,
-
@sunny: People with a journalism or advertising background do that because it conserves space.
-
@DigAPony: I was wracking my brain to think of something, and then I read your post and have to confess that I'm a snob about grammar too!
-
@mrsjazz: love it! I'm an Oxford comma snob too!
-
-
@mrsjazz: Oh thanks! I also learned that the comma was unnecessary in those scenarios! I learned it was only to be used if the items were likely to get confused. I guess there's always someone who will make those assumptions though! I always have an inner debate with myself whether to use it.
-
Pens, coffee, tea and cheese.
-
I'm a snob about anything leather, especially shoes and handbags. I hate pleather.
-
@mrsbookworm: I was going to say that I don't really get hung up about anything, but THIS. I *have* to sit near the front of the plane. I will even take the middle seat, it's that important.
If I had to choose, I guess I'm a snob about easy spelling mistakes. People, learn the difference between "loose" and "lose". Drives me half wild.
I was taught two spaces, too. I changed! Ha. I majored in journalism in college and 2 spaces after the period was unacceptable.
