Short tutorial

I am no grammar expert,but some words and/or phrases bend my ear the wrong way.

Just for your information.

"prolly" is not a word. Never has been, and probably never will be.

Thank you for your attention.

And, although not grammar in the technical sense, the dollar sign ($) goes in front of the numbers.

 

[steve666]

And don't forget proper punctuation!

And apostrophes are used to show possession, and in contractions. Apostrophes are NEVER used in plurals. I totally agree with the dollar sign thing. I hate seeing that used after numbers. Not sure where that came from.

Your means belonging to you.
You're is a contraction of "you are."

There is a place.
Their is something belonging to them.
They're is a contraction of "they are."

It's is a contraction of "it is."
Its means belonging to it.

To expresses direction.
Too means "also."
Two is a number that comes after one, and before three.

Lose means to cease to have.
Loose means not tight.

Weather is what it's like outside.
Whether is an expression of inquiry.

Where refers to a place.
Wear is what you do with a shirt.

I hope I made that simple enough.

Hearing someone say Snarky makes my eye twitch.

 

[CPT Nervous]

Oh, and I almost forgot "then" and "than."

Then means "after that."
Than is a comparison word.

I have a problem, with weather, and whether..... THANK YOU !!!!!

 

[Mgderf]

Looks like maybe I struck a nerve.

If sense were indeed a commonality, I would not need to add my two cents.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Kidding!

Your, you're
Their, there, they're

 

[Mgderf]

I have a problem, with weather, and whether..... THANK YOU !!!!!

Do you mean you don't like nature, or that you can't figure out whether or not we'll have bad weather?

Ain't that a cryin' shame. Whoda thunk such a word was not really a word, even tho it can be spelled and pronounced. Whatever ya call it, me personally thinks it's here to stay.

 

[Redtbird]

Meh..."Prolly" is just one bit of "puter-speak". I've used it many times. Comes in handy when trying to get info into a small space like a text message.

Butt, yore prolly write, it's knot a reel ward.

Byeee!

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Through is passing from point A to point B. Threw is past tense of tossing something.

 

[Lucas156]

Who gives a hoot English is ****ed up anyway

 

[RedneckReject]

You forgot "to" and "too". "Where" and "were" are up there as well. The absolute worst for me though is when someone says (or types, I guess) "I have nothing to do...I'm so board."

Really??? You've got to be kidding.

I got that one. I did forget "board." That one makes me cringe.

I know it's not really the same as what you all are talking about, but it still drives my insane

Oh wow. Well I may be awesome at grammar and spelling, but I certainly suck at observation
