I'm into Latina women, so this is expected (if you were to believe Modern Family).

Realistically - I didn't care back then, would not put too much into it now.

I was really critical of it in my youth and I let it slide for the most part now unless it’s exorbitant lol

It hasn’t, but as a former English major, it probably would.

Right, that’s my predicament lol. I just don’t get how people spend their entire life speaking English without ever understanding it. I know someone that speaks 4 languages that has a better grasp on English than most of the people I know and she’s from Brazil lol

This said, I have dated several foreign girls whose English grammar wasn’t perfect, but they were an exception. Mostly because I was on an Asian kick at the time and whatcha gonna do?

 I think it’s fine to think that way, not as a superiority thing, but just as a compatibility issue. A grammar nazi and someone who doesn’t know their/there/they’re probably have a lot more deep seeded differences than just that.

I try not to be a grammar Nazi, even go out of my way to sabotage my own syntax and even tell customers I’m doing good instead of doing well at work. But I was raised by a perfectionist and a slob so I’m overly critical at times but don’t want to lol.

They say you marry someone who reminds you of your parent.

My roommates dad is dating a girl younger than my roommate.

 

so he trying to marry a girl that reminds him of his daughter, I suppose the girlfriend in this scenario is marrying someone who reminds her of her parent... apparently it doesn’t always work both ways

Has poor grammar ever dictated how far y’all take something with someone? 

I let it affect me too much. Using their/there/they're & to / too & your / you're incorrectly in texts makes me think you're too lazy to try to correct it.

Then/than is another one. Defiantly / Definitely , lose / loose , breathe / breath , "have you ate?"

I make exceptions if anglish ain't their first language though. I thought that people writing "quite" instead of "quiet" was a rare occurrence but I've since learned that there is some sort of alternate universe people live in where they think that they mean the same thing. 

Basically, I'm an *******.
