Grima! I Will Make Great Use Of This New Word

Grima! Like nails on a chalkboard.

Mostly True Memoirs

Grima! Like nails on a chalkboard.

Grima!

Today is National Proofreading Day.

I was going to discuss the misuse of apostrophes.

It drives me stark, raving crazy.

I wanted to say that the abuse of this particular punctuation mark is, to me, like nails on a chalkboard.

But I realized that this phrase is dated.

No one uses chalkboards anymore.

I researched a more modern way to say it.

And I learned the word “grima.”

It’s of Spanish origin, and it means, “that terrible feeling you get when you hear nails on a chalkboard.”

Who knew there was a word for it?

Where has this word been all my life?

I absolutely could have used this word back in the day.

At any rate, I am no longer so annoyed at apostrophes.

Go ahead and misuse them.

It will give me the opportunity to use my new word.

“Grima!”
