So I've met someone new. I am attracted to him physically and we seem to have a lot of things in common. I am really digging his vibe and I can totally see us hooking up soon.
One thing that has been a turn off for me is mistakes in grammar. I'm kind of a nerd so I pick up on these things fairly quickly.
For example: He says, "what you're doing?" instead of "what ARE you doing?" I have noticed that a lot of people do this and I am sometimes too quick to judge. It's not cool of me to do that. It irks me every time he does it though so I feel like I should just say something.
Would it be very rude of me to correct him? Can it be done nicely?
I find it annoying, too, if my grammar/spelling is better than someone's who was born here. As an American, you should know the difference between "your" and "you're" (most common mistake I see). I also don't like "cuz" and "whut up" and other variations of butchering the English language. My English is not great by all means, but if I can even spot your 1st grader mistakes, it must be pretty bad.
It is not a real issue but it makes you look not very smart = turn off.
yeah, its petty. Get over it and move on with your life.
