If I Had Seen This Funny Glove and Boots Video When I Was Nine, I Would Have Aced 3rd Grade English!


So I made a cool youtube discovery recently called Glove and Boots. It's been around for a couple of years, but it's been under my radar until now. It's a video blog, informative and funny (they slid down a mountain in a porta potty). Their bit on The Hero's Journey is a hoot as well. But first, check out this grammar refresher to get started.


Hope you enjoyed. Have a literally fantastic Wednesday, everyone!

I'm David, and seriously, go check out they're there their channel.

  10. Except last fall in several dictionaries, the definition of literally changed to also include meaning figuratively. I still don't use the word literally in that way, but I think it's kind of cool how our language is always changing.

  12. As a grammar nut this one was right up my alley. Loved it. Now I want to watch the rest of their stuff. (Their... meaning it belongs to them. Not there, a place. Or they're... because "watch the rest of they are stuff" is just stupid.) :D

  13. Strunk and White say never to use "literally" in fiction, but that was over sixty years ago. Times, they are a changin'!

  16. The Internet really does need this, complete with THE Princess Bride quote. I think everyone could literally ace English if they watched this.
