Word Crimes
Grammar nazis, you have an anthem! We knew Weird Al Yankovic was pretty picky about grammar and punctuation, if you recall his campaign to correct public signs a few years ago. His new parody of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” gets right to the point: use language properly, or keep it to yourself on the internet. Here’s the second video released from his new album Mandatory Fun. And don’t forget: Weird Al has a big dictionary. (via mental_floss)

That was awesome!
Loved it! One of my biggest peeves is supposedly educated people who don't realize that words of feeling or senses take adjectives, not adverbs. "I feel bad" is correct. If you say "I feel badly" it means that you do not touch things well.
