Does Grammar Matter???

I wanted to sleep early because I've been typing away the whole day (exaggerating, apparently).  Oh well, if not for the two hours or so when I dozed off, the hour spent terrorizing Althea to read not to mention the trips to the --- you know where --- and a hundred other trivial things, encoding the final Introduction, Theoretical Background and Theoretical Framework would have taken the whole day today. No, not the entire 24 hours of course, because if I did that I'd surely be dead meat by morning --- a zombie. Awake in body but asleep in spirit... zzzzzzzzzzz....


No, I didn't doze of... My finger dozed off! (I only use 4 when encoding anyway, hehehe).  It's just that I have printed what I planned on submitting tomorrow to my Methods of Research Professor, but I noticed when I had the printed pages read that there are some grammatical flaws.  This is the reason why I didn't major in English.  I am fond of the compound complex sentences (my prof told me to use simplier language and I don't know how) and the major, major drawback of such is that, I most often find the subject not agreeing with the verb --- I get get confused as to which the subject is, anyway, wahehehehe! I will repeat, the papers are printed --- and I am running out of ink at home --- and ink is expensive --- and prof doesn't accept handwritten ones --- even if you claim it's your labor of love! My printer at school is a bit crazy with misaligned lines that don't align themselves even when I run the Printhead Alignment Wizard (encoded with capitalized beginning letters as a form of reverence --- it might help the alignment thing to work tomorrow).  Don't tell me to go to a service center because my pet printer has already undergone major major surgical operation otherwise known as CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System)...


But why am I talking about darn printer when I started off with minding my grammatical construction?  Writing my notes here at Facebook, I don't mind one bit if I do some unfit mix 'n match with subjects and verbs.  No one will rate me anyway.  And I don't have to be guilty because as said, I am not an English major, wahehehehe ---- palusot, bah!Dili lang jud pwede sa Research nga magsabong maong guol gamay akong buot kay human na print unya kining danghag, nagdanghag lang jud ang agi... hahay!


Grammar doesn't matter,  where my note writing in here is concerned, at least.  I write whatever comes to mind while thoughts still flow from it.  There are moments when I would simlply stare at the blank page and wouldn't be able to come up with anything hours after.  Spontaniety is the word.


Any reaction???  Violent ones even encouraged --- it's you and your PC anyway, hehehe.  Nonetheless, I have completed another senseless note just so I could write in what went on with my life today.
