[QUOTE="Jason73, post: 244627, member: 3"] I have to admit that threads that make people feel bad (badly? I'm paranoid now) about the way they speak are one of my least favorite things on the internet. I don't speak/type with perfect grammar and I'm certain, based on the various language/grammar threads on here, I've phrased things that make people cringe or sound horrifyingly "American." I know for certain I've used "excited for." I'm terrible with commas and not great with prepositions. I guess I notice when people use glaringly imperfect grammar but I can't think of anything that causes a visceral reaction from (in? with?) me. Maybe working with young children, many of whom are second language learners or from families of poverty has given me a strong tolerance for it. Edit: I've edited this thread for grammar and punctuation three times since I posted it. :D [/QUOTE]
