Important and Also and Too
 

Try this again. Different approach
Important is spelled important not impordant.
It is still ok to say also or too instead of As Well.

I was so concerned about that. Thanks for clearing it up.

To, too and two
 

Where my grammar book at?

Ok, I can now half piece of mind…..:read:

LOL, that has to be at the far bottom of the list of egregious spelling and grammar faux pas encountered on TOTV daily.

Kids today can't read, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

I could care less….. as I typed that spell check actually corrected “could” to “ couldn’t” so spell check is smarter than a large percentage of Americans.

It be at the bookshef :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Grammar
 

OLD JOKE.
"Where's it at?"'
"Don't be stupid. It's wrong to end a sentence with a preposition."
"OK then, where's it at, as---ole?"

:BigApplause: :mademyday: :beer3:

if you spend time correcting autocorrect, you won't have much time for anything else, and if that's what you value your time doing, i am very sorry about that condition

Regardless, is it really important? I prefer substance over form.

I'll add my pet peeve. "Two in a row." Two can only be consecutive. It takes three to make a row.

That's because couldn't is correct in this use.

I could care less means that there is less that you could care, whereas I couldn't care less is the superlative, meaning there is no less than you could care.

You're welcome. :jester:

*have
*peace

Which is exactly what Kelevision wrote.

Ha. I missed the part about spell check being smarter that TOTV posters. So I guess my grammar is good, but my reading comprehension needs work. :shocked:

Almost like double negatives, it was a tough sentence to read.

How about, the first "two in a row" of twenty?

That was my point.. sorry you missed it… lol.

Wat chu talkin' bout Willis?

I had only one college professor who took off grade points for grammar. He was weird! High school different story. We are beyond high school, yes?

After decades as an English professor, I learned from a linguist at Columbia University a few months ago that it is in fact CORRECT in English to end a sentence with a preposition. The idea that we mustn’t do that is based on Latin grammar and was inflicted on us a couple centuries ago. However, in both Old English (as spoken and written in England until around 1200) and in Old Norse (spoken by the Vikings who ruled a large chunk of England for about 350 years), ending sentences with prepositions is grammatically correct. When I learned that, I felt liberated. After all, we are English speakers, not Latin speakers.

Still, “Where’s it at” is considered a colloquialism to be avoided, as it is more appropriate to simply ask, “Where is it?”

Surprised too that long for someone to correct it…..:thumbup:

'I seen' makes me crazy.

I thought for a minute you were going to say irregardless!

Irregardless
 

You meant irregardless, right? ROFLMAO!

It's only proper if you're from Pittsburgh... :clap2:

My pet peeve it's when friends, good friends do not understand what R.S.V.P. means or... do not come to the party after saying they would, with NO Apology.
Worse than "showing up", after failing to respond.

Don't forget punctuation also...
 

"She enjoys cooking her family and her dog"

"She enjoys cooking, her family, and her dog"

I like the ones that NEVER end their sentences with a period. They turn a paragraph into just ONE big long gob of word salad.

Some of us got hit with too many concussion grenades during WW1.

I didn't know that. That is the kind of question that might be asked at the pearly gates to determine if you go up or down.

One interpretation would be that they aren't really "good friends" if they treat you that way. Just saying....

So familiar....Where have I heard that expression before?

“Looky here, who am dat?”

Maybe it should be - the 1st consecutive 2 items out of 20 ?

One ? is, do we stay "beyond high school" when we are here in a retirement area? I assume that there is a gradual mental decline. If only we could go back physically to high school level. Maybe next lifetime?

Proper grammer, what is that? It's rarer than hen's teeth!

Proper spellin has its place as well

My pet peeve linguistically is in TOTV when people use the word "loose" when it should be "lose". This could be because they temporarily have a "loose" screw in their head that they need to "lose". Lose means to fail to win or fail to find something. Loose is adjective meaning than something is not tight or free from restraint. Example - the dog got loose. One interesting example is the former military command "loose arrows". Some people in TOTV land may just keep their finger on the letter O so long that it becomes OO in the word LOOSE when they really mean LOSE (and they fail to proofread). But, I think that many people must believe that LOOSE is correct in all situations. I wonder ?
