Yet another mini idea for a sketch (free for takin's too):

Some people on youtube are ... for some reason ... imposing really hard on themselves to be gramatically correct even if they obviously (or at least: possibly) don't quite fully understand some newly acknowledged grammar rule and (possibly in some cases) even when they are actually wrong at thinking that they were wrong in the first place, and are even more wrong for correcting themselves in those cases - I don't know - are they (hey - by the way - is that some social experiment??)? (Talking about, for example, when they force on themselves to, all of the sudden, *always* use 'I' instead of 'me' (even some, apparently, really smart fellas out there jump on that wagon) - I mean: surely there must be some use for the word 'me' - right - but - nope - they just make it >easy< for themselves by totally chucking away the 'me' - right - that's >easy< - problem solved - right? probably not! I suppose the right way would be that: 'I' is used when you are commiting some action (e.g. "Someone and *I* are taking a picture." - I mean: say what seems natural - it mostly is), and 'me' when the empasis is on the fact that you are the one on whom some action is taking place (e.g. "A picture of someone and *me* is being taken.", or "Is that for *me*??" - like the possibility that you might be given something - you being the one on whom that action is taking place - so: 'me', and not 'Is that for I ?' - which sounds totally wrong) - but hey that could be wrong... is it? Nevermind. Anyhow that situation is funny enough to be an inspiration for another goofy sketch.)

So the sketch would be about a comedically portrayed evil mastermind (a troll of sorts - not troll squared or cubed - a troll to a power of troll - it's like: troll^troll) who is constantly inventing such hypes about grammar and forcing them through internet (mainly social networks) on the unsuspecting population so that everyone becomes extremely confused (tripping-on-their-own-feet confused!) and frustrated every time they try to say anything and then - in correcting themselves - they actualy deform sentences beyond recognition - a simple "A friend bought a few cactuses for me. She is a botanist, you know." becomes "My aquaintance commited a purchase of an unspecified multitude of >CACTI I<. She were a botanistess - no pleonasm intended, you know.". So in the sketch finally everyone loses their mind, but then they discover what's happening and so on...
