wow. i have a hero.
grammar issues piss me off royally. one of my personal favorites is ending sentences with prepositions . . . i take great pains, even in spoken language, not to transgress those boundaries. "that is a rule of english up with which i WILL put," to paraphrase churchill (and diametrically change his meaning).
i won my school spelling bee twice in middle school, and i once lost at the next level on a word that doesn't exist ("vicosity" was the word given -- presumably he meant "viscosity"). the kid who ended up winning spelled "validity" "velidity" in the first round, but the pronouncer, who was apparently a dumbass, didn't catch it.
