I absolutely hate grammar. I am not going to try and beat around the bush and pretend that I only dislike it at times. NOPE! The thing about grammar that drives me nuts is punctuation. I believe that as long as you can be clear in communications there is no point for irrelevant punctuation. Maybe I have such strong feelings about this because English was never my favorite subject growing up therefore, I never cared to fully commit myself to learn the techniques of grammar. Nonetheless, I feel like grammar today is cluttered by unneeded and unwanted semi colons and commas. I guarantee many students, just like me, throw both of those around because we don’t really understand them and feel like our writing is lacking punctuations. I believe I feel so strongly about this also is because my generation largely depends upon technology such as texting, twitter, and facebook. I feel that through those media outlets the majority of users never have perfect punctuation but they are still able to get their point across clearly. So truly I do not see the point of punctuation at times.

On the other hand, being a business major I understand that it is a necessity of mine to become well versed on all different uses of  grammar. Not only is grammar a way to see how knowledgeable an employee is but also can help make a great impression in different networking opportunities. So, with my future in mind, I think it will be very beneficial for me to become less close minded on the issue of grammar and expand my knowledge of the uses of it. Therefore, I think it would be important for me to look up different uses of punctuation and practice using them in my everyday writing.

Along the lines of my grammar pet peeve, I think I made it clear that certain forms of punctuation frustrates me because of my lack of knowledge on how to use them correctly. But other than that, I do not really have any word usage pet peeves. In the long run, as long as I understand what you are trying to communicate with me, I truly do not care.
