Re: Word Crimes
I saw someone say "I could care less" in my photo group. I didn't want to be a jerk, so I didn't correct her. I really wanted to, though.
Some people get upset when you point out grammar errors.

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!

Re: Word Crimes
I always feel the same way. I usually don't correct people because some people are really sensitive about that sort of thing.algonacchick wrote:I saw someone say "I could care less" in my photo group. I didn't want to be a jerk, so I didn't correct her. I really wanted to, though.

Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Re: Word Crimes
I saw the world's worst run-on sentence in my Mom's group. Seriously, no punctuation at all. I had to read it three times to figure out what it was about. My response was "Sounds like fun". Again, didn't want to be a jerk. But, seriously, it was confusing reading that run-on sentence. It should have been four sentences.

Re: Word Crimes
Is it bad that I really feel like I wanna delete almost all of my friends on Facebook for their improper grammar usage?

I've begun to only communicate in Latin on Facebook to force myself and others to think about grammar.

Re: Word Crimes
I just noticed for the first time that during the second chorus, the background vocals say, "I hate them crimes", followed by, "I mean those crimes". Anyone else catch this?

Re: Word Crimes
Yep, I did.
Did you catch "lousy writer" after the very first line ("If you can't write, in the proper way")?
