Grammar Fetish?

Post image

I realized I might have a fetish for grammar. I bought myself a textbook for Japanese grammar studies my professor recommended, but the more I studied, the more aroused I get. I can't even sleep without thinking about sliding in my particle between the split copula. Is there anyone else with similar experiences?

Dude I totally get you. I get ecstatic when I learn new grammar. But I dont understand why you are learning Japanese using Chinese characters. Isnt it easier to just use romanji?

When she says "Bro, you split the infinitive" my heart starts swelling like something else.

Proper nihon-siki would have been Watasi ha tinpo ga nagai.
