And that thing insisted upon calling my short, choppy, incomplete sentences, that I do so love to write, "fragments." Yep, it called them "fragments"! So I just told that grammar check to go frag itself and we broke up. How dare that thing expect both a subject and a predicate from me!

Now, you listen to Boomer! Hear me please. Do not even THINK about trying to get that grammar check thing in here. You can't build nuance into a computer.

Listening!! I promise!!

LOL! I know you are absolutely serious....but it truly made me laugh out loud!!


Ok...NO GRAMMAR CHECK!! thing!!
