it's time for me to list my grammatical pet peeves again.

[Radical Ice]

"unloosen"....

 

[snacky cake]

"fixin to do" this or that

"pouring THE rain"

"at this point in time"

oh, and people who do the little quote marks in the air piss me off.

People who say foreign derived words with some screwy accent that they think sounds genuine.

 

[walliwalibus]

People who post what I was going to post before I could post it and so it ruins my post.

 

[Frisky]

yeah those are bad but my pet peeves are

1. Then, Than (How can anyone not get this?)
2. Your, You're (this one is so common tho)
3. There, Their, They're

Im sure there are lots more

ya'll y'all

 

[Cardinal Slin]

I'm going to Denny's makes sense. I'm going to Gym does not because it's THE GYM and THE PROM.

god, i hate all of you.

Unless 'Gym' is the name of the gym you are speaking about, it should be a lowercase (also lower case) g.

Additionally, since you're in the mood of educating people, it's an I not an 'i'.



jUst sayin'

yes, well if i was in the mood to educate people, i'd tell you that if the name of a gym was "GYM", then it WOULD NOT be a lower case g because it would be a proper name.

pwned. just sayin'.

I justed checked with my sister on this one.

She said many proms exist every year all over.

" I am going to prom " .
A person can say this and not be locked in to what prom or location they are going to.

is your sister mirriam webster?

there are many proms because proms is a noun.
so if you're not being clear about which prom you're going to, it's "a prom".

substitute "formal dance" for the word "prom" and EVERYONE would say, "i'm going to A formal dance".

I still like "irregardless".

irregardless is the non-standard english meaning of regardless. its not wrong to say irregardless when used appropriately.

what "non-standard"?
does that dictionary include "ain't" and double negatives?
