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.

    I love these guys!! Their video on being a tourist in New York is my absolute favorite - but I haven't seen the Hero's Journey one. Going to watch it now!

      And what do you know, I have just been taught writing craft by muppets, and only then I got it.

    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.

    Anytime grammar lessons can be done in a fun way, it's a huge win!

    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

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

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