So my son sends me a text...

[NNadir]

"Me and my brother are going for a walk..."

I send back a text saying, "I'm sure you mean, 'My brother and I...'" and sign it "Dad, the Grammar Nazi."

He responds, "Where's the grammar Eisenhower when you need him?"

Good point.

[MLAA]

1. Smart (@ss) kid, just like his dad 😬

[blm]

2. Heh

[procon]

3. He might not be a whiz at grammar, but he deserves

some kudos from knowing his history. I'll bet you're proud of him!

[NNadir]

19. Well, to be honest, this kid is way, way, way smarter than I am.

He's an outstanding university student in materials science engineering and he speaks five or six languages, maybe more, I don't know.

Since I don't speak that many languages, I don't know if his grammar in all of them is lousy, although I do know his French is way, way better than mine.

Both he and his brother though, have had this "me and ..." incorrect subjective noun form since they were small, and it seems it can't be broken. They didn't learn it from me, and they didn't learn it from my wife.

4. Chip off the old block?

5. Your response

"I'm sure you mean, "Where's the grammar Truman . . ." signed Dad, the History Nazi.

[unblock]

9. Eisenhower is far more appropriate than truman

Eisenhower was supreme commander of the allied Expeditionary Force and led the d-day invasion, among other operations against the nazis.

Truman didn't have much to do with it. Fdr didn't let his vice-presidents do much of anything, and Truman became president less than one month before v-e day.

12. Truman's service as a Senator was very impressive

On his own he went around the country visiting production facilities and uncovered graft and corruption.

The Truman Committee saved an estimated $ 15 billion (more than enough to pay for the entire Manhattan project and thousands of lives.

Before being picked for VP Truman was ranked 2nd after FDR as most respected civilian leader.

[unblock]

15. Sure, but if we're debating which name to put as contra "grammar nazi"

Truman has to be at best a distant third behind fdr and Eisenhower.

6. Good for You DAD!!

That particular grammar-ism drives me NUTS!

And well done, son.

[Codeine]

7. I must make that correction 20 times a day

and it never seems to take. But even in the face of years of abject failure it’s something I just can’t seem to help doing.

8. Well at least he knows a little history...

[TNNurse]

10. I am a bit of a grammar Nazi myself,

but I love this for his knowledge of history.

Good job, parents and teachers.

[TNNurse]

11. May I steal this and share it with a few teachers I know???

[NNadir]

13. Be my guest. n/t.

[Pillow talk]

14. There's that saying ... you can't teach that... well, yes you can. 👍
