After putting on 3 pairs of socks, 6 jumpers, 6 pairs of trousers, 5 woolly hats, 4 scarfs, 2 thick coats and a pair of boots, I waddled outside.
Ten seconds later I was laying face down in the snow and I couldn't move.

And being an intermittent grammar Nazi.... it should be "Wrapping up warmly i.e. using an adverb not an adjective.... There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me

Pedantry rather than being obnoxious. How does one know what letters the dots signify? it could be, 'Wrapping up warmly.....' "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

My opinion is "obnoxious" (which is my word of the day), but funny, and I stand by it.

I'm with @LondonShyGirl on this one - there is never an excuse for poor grammar.
ETA I too think her reply is more pedantic than obnoxious
I'm the one your mother warned you about

Not everyone who just can't be bothered to spell correctly is dyslexic. Many just hide under that label.

Moi? A pedant?
Well I did say I was being a grammar Nazi, so surely that means I can't be obnoxious!
