As one of the editors of Lovelyish, grammar, spelling and punctuation are a major part of my life. I’ve learned that a lot of grammar and punctuation rules depend on the style of writing, but there are some things that you just can’t change… or leave out.
The Internet has made us all grammatically stupid and casual with these things. And no, I am by no means a grammar freak. I make mistakes all the time. No one is perfect. However, I know to use a comma when it is important. Here are some hilarious examples of when grammar and punctuation really matter.

I know I don’t have the best grammar as an English instructor, but I try to prevent cannibalism in writing. XD

I love these. My uncle runs an online business and gets all walks of life emailing him. In reply to an email from a jerk, my uncle pointed out his lack of capitalization and told him it’s the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse. It was pretty amusing.

Man, I ran a lesson once with a bunch of sixth graders, and played that old song, asking them… OKAY, are we talking about a Monster, that eats only one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-people? Or a one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-monster that eats ALL PEOPLE?
Grammar. They say we’re annoyances, I say we’re saving lives.
