[Grammar] Check Please.

Being an English major is tough. Too many times have I been wrongly accused of being a grammar-Nazi by association.
"Don't say that around her. She's an English major," people say, as if I'll use the yard stick on them for a grammar mistake. When in reality, I take pride in my laissez-faire attitude toward others' grammar. Live and let live.
And let us be frank, I make English mistakes. Being an English major only means I will be momentarily disabled when I reread a paper, a blog post (or several), an email where an error has cropped up.
"Oh dang. I'll hear about this one. Check Please."
That is why I am grateful for spelling and grammar checks and dictionary.com--they are true and constant friends.
