A good, solid knowledge of grammar is important for anyone who wants to get their point across in an intelligent manner. But we all know those grammar snobs who just love to use the good old ad hominem fallacy - that is, attacking a grammatical mistake that is completely irrelevant to the argument at hand.

The internet is never shy about showing its love for the likes of Keanu, Danny DeVito, or Tom Hanks - but why are we not showing more appreciation for Rowan Atkinson, AKA Mr. Bean? We were perplexed by this, so we decided to throw together a few memes in honor of one of our all-time favorites!

Bored with calling everyday objects by their bland and common names? You might enjoy these weird but absolutely accurate alternatives. We may not need these quirky edits but we're kind of losing it, so why not spice it up? 

These tweets will only fully make sense to our British audience, but we're willing to bet non-Brits will get a confused kick out of them too. If you're not sure what "limeys" means, it's a slang term for the British that originated in the 1850s in reference to the British sailors who would consume citrus fruits to prevent scurvy. The more you know!

All you Top Gear fans will appreciate this meme that features TV show host Jeremy Clarkson uttering the sentence, "Sometimes my genius... it's almost frightening." This meme stems from all the way back in a 2013 episode, and we think it's also great for the dummies who also think they're real clever.

People will go to great lengths to find love and this guy, whose name is Mark, has to be the most dedicated we've seen. Mark created a website asking for dating applicants, citing the difficulty of finding love at age 30. We feel that. He even went as far as to pay for a billboard to be put up in Manchester, UK.

Mark, if you're reading this, then we hope you find your special someone. You deserve it.

And ladies, if you're actually interested in going on a date with Mark (which honestly you should be), you can apply to be Mark's ladyfriend here. Good luck, because he's got a lot of applicants to sift through.

Let's just get this out of the way: English is a terrible language that makes no g*ddamn sense. If you're currently trying to learn it, then all we can say is, godspeed to you and we hope that these memes will help to make you feel a little more understood in the struggle.

Doctor Who certainly has a cult-like following by this point, and it's not hard to see why. The show is supposedly meant for children, which leads us to believe that English children are just far superior in the intelligence department than the rest of us. 

Who's your favorite Doctor? Ours has got to be David Tenant.

Ah, high school. Back when we'd sit in AP English class and listen to the teacher go on about the supposed symbolism in classic works of literature for what felt like hours. Lo and behold, it's entirely possible that some writers just want to write a damn sentence that doesn't contain some sort of brilliant imagery.

All the way back in 2013, a Tumblr user pointed out the line "What, you egg?" in Shakespeare's MacBeth. Was Shakespeare trying to convey some sort of secret meaning here? It's possible, but it's more likely he just wanted to throw in a silly insult.

Let's be real people, the English language is hard...like, really hard. And completely nonsensical at times even for us native speakers. So we can kind of understand when people f*ck things up, like the following embarrassed people!

Regardless of whether your favorite Doctor is David Tenant, Christopher Eccleston, or Tom Baker, all Whovians can come together over these amusing memes and moments from the beloved British TV show Doctor Who!
