dark and twisty german grammar – with a twist flip!
although my german grammar undeniably needs a lot of work, i consider my english grammar to be pretty spot on. i'd say i notice approximately 98% of grammar and spelling mistakes others make.
i'm not saying i don't make mistakes – i'm only human – but the inhuman thing is probably that once i realize i've made a mistake, even if i can go back and fix it, i obsess over it and the mistake is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. is this unhealthy thinking? most likely, yes. but in the long run there need to be people who are overly conscious about things like this – otherwise the entire written world would go to hell in a hand basquette baskitte baskit basket.
i only have two or three of the duden books (which are essentially the bibles of german orthography and grammar), but i want them all. they're way too much fun. the picture dictionary is probably the best. you would never guess how many different types of wigs there are with wig-specific vocabulary! madness!
anyone else have a favorite punctuation mark? mine's a toss up between the en and em dash.
