Weird Al Yankovic does it again. He skewers the sorry state of grammar and takes aim at the hybridization of text messaging with modern english.
In the meantime, he nails some the usual suspects. I am not a grammar purist and have my fair share of missed commas, dangling participles, and tense issues. Nonetheless, a very funny reminder of the importance of the written and spoken word.
I am reminded of the anecdote told of Noah Webster. His wife returned home to find him in a compromising position with the maid. She explained, "Noah, I am surprised!" To which, Webster replied, "No my dear, I am surprised, you are astonished!"
Enjoy!
