Quite a few of my pet peeves are addressed in this funny video. One that wasn't is the use of (of) instead of ('ve) as a contraction as in should've, not (should of). When I see that written by people my own age - who clearly should know better, it burns my biscuits. They're just lazy and should've been taken to the wood shed.
Just my 2 - cents, plain.
More later.

I have so much difficulty reading poorly wrtten english sentences! in fact, I usually quit if it's most abominable.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that no one proof reads what they write any more relying on autotype or abc autocorrection to find and correct all their mistakes. It gets even more ridiculous when they dictate into their voice recognition software. I can often tell they are using Dragon, when the words written, are exactly the way they talk with strange idioms and idiosyncrasies.
ReplyDeleteI am 'not for this' for some of his tirades are just plain incorrect AND he makes fun of people struggling to better their grammar. phooey.
