In the Grammar Snobs Chapters 1-7, I think I got a little annoyed.
Although I appreciate Casagrande's comparisons to drunkens, hippies, and obsessed band fans, she also rambles a lot about grammar snobs. While, at the same time, she uses really big words to justify her reasonings. I liked the idea of starting out with two contradictory letters, and I also greatly enjoy the idea of SHORT chapters, and also an easy read. Her comparisons are what kept me entertained, but she seems very arrogant.
I think it's funny because my mom is kind of a grammar snob. When I was little, I would purposely walk around speaking incorrectly. "I done this earlier." If I said stuff like that, my mom would get so mad! She said it was really embarassing when I messed things up, and I feel like that is sort of how this author is.
I don't know, the first 7 chapters had only 24 pages in it, so I hadn't really been given the opportunity to warm up to her yet. I guess I'll have to keep reading and find out :)

Oh, I think you're right. She's just snobby about the snobs...I think?
