sweat dreams: how grammar can affect your chances.

Anyone who has ever met me, been associated with me, or has seen a random Twitter of mine floating through Cyber Space, knows I am a bit of a "basic" or "common sense" grammar "Nazi" (ugh... that word really is awful). This isn't to say I don't make intermediate grammatical or structural mistakes, but I know the basics of "there, their, and they're" and "to, too", and my all time biggest, baddest *facepalm*... your and you're.

Seriously, online daters... "Your sexy." Ughhhh... my sexy what? My sexy kitten, Lumos? My sexy sweatpants? My sexy Doctor Who blanket? Seriously... WHAT OF MY NUMEROUS LIST OF SEXY THINGS?!?

When you enter the world wide arena of online dating, know your basics. See what I did there? I want to know that I'm conversing with someone who has a sixth grade level of completed education and I'm not actually on How to Catch a Predator.

But what about typos!? WHAT ABOUT AUTOCORRECT!?? We are all completely guilty of sending texts without revising or editing before we kick them out to our potential lovers. Don't be so hasty with that send button. Check your words over... switch some regulars up with a list of synonyms just to add that fancy touch. Tell me my pudding-stained sweatshirt and side-pony isn't just hot... it's exquisite. And those yoga pants I'm rockin'... well those bad boys create an insatiable desire of romance within your heart. Maybe then, you can take me on that romantic drive-thru of McDonald's.

Lastly, when in doubt, use common sense. France is usually not located in the United States. Typing lyk dis, babie boi will not only not get you a date... it'll get a dictionary thrown at your face.
