I was genuinely asking to clarify for me what makes that statement a hyperbole, I have always been more science and math oriented. I was expecting something a little stronger based on your previous post. |

This whole debate about the proper use of grammar must be more far reaching than I previously thought. This is what I witness happen in the shoutbox:
Paul Smeenus: plug.dj – MusicBanter djchameleon: I'm busy building a lego set or I would Paul Smeenus: You mean you're building something *with* a lego set?

I thought what Paul said was harmless and funny, because their is some truth... dj wasn't literally building a Lego set. I only thought that occasional noticing of how things are said and whether proper grammar is used. I guess it is one of those things you don't notice until someone points it out.
I had a friend that whenever I ended sentence with a preposition would flip out! I wouldn't know how notice such things so quickly, usually whenever a grammatical error is made it takes me a while to figure it out.

I like to write the way I talk.
Also, Mark Twain, and Chuck Palahalawalnakik. **** someone else's rules about grammar.

Mark Twain wrote the way people talk to capture their regional dialects to add depth and veritas to his characters. So if a character said something with a grammatical mistake, it should not be attribute to Mark Twain making the grammatical mistake. In a way you can think of Twain as a real life American version of George Bernard Shaw's fictional character, Alfred P. Doolittle.

I don't remember how to spell his aggravating name but he's the dude who wrote Fight Club and a bunch of other artsy grammatically incorrect novels.
