Reflection: Five Weird Grammar Phases I've Gone Through

1. Analyzing and grammatically breaking down my diary entries, I guess.

2. I once stopped using all contractions, for probably several months. "I am not talking strangely. I do not even know what you are talking about."

3. I once tried to only speak in the informal (i.e. "thee," "thou"). As you ( I mean thee...I mean thou?) can imagine, this one didn't last long.

4. I once tried never to end things in a preposition. But actually, I then learned that this is a completely grammatical thing to do in most circumstances. I won't go into it, because I don't really care about grammar anymore (can you tell?), but I'll post a link explaining it if you're really curious.

5. No five, but again, I just prefer odd numbers, particularly the number five.
