The Middle Finger of Grammar

John over at Stuff Christians Like always refers to lower cased letters at the beginning of proper pronouns the middle finger of grammar. I like that. It makes me laugh. It also made me aware of how often I miss proper pronouns and wonder if people are secretly incredibly insulted. Oops. I better be more careful.

    That's a hilarious metaphor... I don't remember that one, but it definitely resonates with me... I am the grammar police.

    So I have heard, so I have heard. He uses it on purpose, ex. satan as oppose to Satan thus giving satan the middle finger of grammar not unlike I just did. You like how I worked in the usage while at the same time providing an explanation and an example. Yes, that's right, I am that good.
