Yes, I am a Grammar Nazi and I am proud! I know I'm not perfect all the time and I can slip up every now and again. But that doesn't stop me from correcting you if you're wrong (but only out of love.) These are a few of the most common mistakes made that can drive your English major friends up the wall.
1. Your & You're
Incorrect: "Your going to kiss you're grandma with that mouth?"
Correct: "You're going to regret buying your mom that stripper pole."
2. There, Their, and They're
Incorrect: There going to use they're car to get their.
Correct: Their dog likes to hump Jake's leg when they're not there.
3. Lack of comma usage
"Let's eat grandma!" No, let's not.
"Let's eat, grandma." Much better.
4. Defiantly/Definitely
Incorrect: I defiantly want to see that movie.
Correct: I definitely want to punch you for misusing that word.
5. To, Two, and Too
Incorrect: You are two stupid too do this math equation to.
Correct: There are two glasses of wine to drink, too.
6. Subject/Verb agreement
Incorrect: "I have already went to the store," or "I just seen that commercial."
Correct: "I have already gone to the store" and "I just saw that commercial."
I mean, really. How does any of that even sound correct? When in doubt, Google it or Facebook message your resident grammar nerd. You'll thank them later.
