Grammar.
I’m a huge fan of it. Not like commas, apostrophes, hyphens, etc. Actually, I like when that’s used correctly too…but,
when you incorrectly use:
- they’re/there/their
- your/you’re
- affect/effect
- through/throw (or threw)
- too/to/two
- it’s/it
- loose/lose
- know/now
- accept/except
- than/then
- are/our
I just. I..I..yeah. I can’t stand it.
For real, like when your facebook status is,
“I went too sea a base ball game today. the guy through me a ball and I was like your so great! I bought some ducks to. Their wonderful accept four the constant quacks”
I barf on the laptop.
I know it’s super lame that this bugs me, but c’mon people.
It’s not that difficult.
I’m not claiming that I never make a they’re/there/their mistake accidentally, but some people..it’s like..every.single.time.
Also (sort of goes with this):
Everyone is now totally going to judge me if I ever misuse a homophone.

I am sort of upset that "Bemused" doesn't mean mildly amused.....shoot
haha. You have me laughing silly. :) I'm with you though, I hate it when people slaughter the English language too.
What about sell/sale? I have a hard time with folks that say/write: "Are you having a garage sell?" Or "Did you sale that guitar?"
Enjoying your blog! My kids are about to welcome their new siblings from Ethiopia :o)
