Forgive Me ..... Your to critical, it's there choice. If you noticed three grammatical errors in the above sentence, thank God. If you didn't, or can't, our educational system failed you. Caveat: At one time, I had a quotation on My blog from a Simon and Garfunkel song 'The Sounds of Silence'. The quote is 'And the signs of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls'. I had originally used the word 'tenant' instead of the correct 'tenement'. An individual wrote to Me and pointed out My error and then went on to say, essentially, "OK, now blast me for being a grammar Nazi." I wrote back and thanked him for pointing out My error. Yes, I make errors - No doubt plenty of them. If I make any, I welcome the feedback so that I can learn and use proper English. My step graduated from college with a degree in Education. She made up<b> invitations </font></b>to her graduation party and the cover was 'Your Invited'. And she is going to teach our young? How on God's earth do colleges graduate people this functionally illiterate? I know, I know ..... 'You know what she means G'. Yes I do, yet I would have also known had she written it 'U R Invited'. You wud hav nown if she had ritten it that weigh to. There is a vast difference, at least to Me, in merely communicating and communicating using correct English. 'Well, your just a asshole G'. Hopefully you noted two additional errors in that sentence too. I see so many grammatical errors in the blogs and I mourn for all of us. Our educational system has deteriorated through the years and many of us, through no fault of our own, are the resulting by-product. What to do, what to do? I know .... 'Just get over it G'. Just My mourning (that should really be 'morning'  rant. Now you can all scald Me for being a grammar Nazi. By the way, I always have a problem differentiating when to use 'who' versus 'whom'. Any rule of thumbs would be appreciated. See? I don't know it all!your scalding may vary .... G Make Women Female Again |
