location of offense: facebook status update
offense: "~Only with true sacrafice within ones self do we find the change we seek~"
correction: let me be the first to remind you that spell check is your friend. aside from the glaring spelling errors of "sacrifice" and "oneself", there's also a fun usage issue. since the writer wants to say "we find" and "we seek", the phrase should really be, "only with true sacrifice within ourselves do we find the change we seek." in addition, we have a larger problem with this status update: the quote doesn't even make sense. please do us all a favor and "sacrafice" yourself (or at least your facebook profile) to the facebook gods.

what the fluff is this stuff?
call us grammar nazis if you will, but we have an eye for catching your annoying spelling and usage mistakes. your english teachers should be ashamed. is this rude? yes, probably...but we created this site out of love, with the hope that you'll never make the same mistakes again. and yes, we're aware that if we wanted our punctuation to be 100% correct, we would use capitalization on this blog - but capital letters kind of scare us. don't worry, we know how to use capitals, it's just that we just don't want to. if you don't like it, then you can fluff off.

the fluffers:
christina:
a smokin' southern vixen, though she was born in massachusetts, where she developed a love for marshmallow fluff and the ever-popular fluffernutter sandwich. her obsession with grammar started at a young age, when her grammy used to correct her mistakes out loud. she now takes pride in calling out her friends' grammatical errors when they fluff up. she may punch you if you misuse to/too/two or there/their/they're. since she is bilingual, christina also would appreciate it if you could utilize proper pronunciation at all times. christina aspires to have a career that combines her passions: cooking and grammar. suggestions are welcome, as long as they don't fluffing suck.
callie:
a gorgeous grammar guru who adores alliteration, appropriate abbreviations, all forms of texting, athletic events, and alcoholic beverages that include vodka. her biggest grammatical pet peeves are the misusage of your/you're and phrases in texts like, "i miss u 2!" she promises it's really not that hard to type those 4 extra letters. callie has never eaten marshmallow fluff, but she highly enjoys phrases like, "that's fluffed up" and "fluff you." she also fluffin' loves you and swears she's not a bitch, regardless of what you may think based on this blog.
