I am not a great fan of starting a sentence with "and". However I feel this is more an advisory item than an offence  |

PLEASE FUCKING PAY ATTENTION.
They're = they fucking are.
Their = shows fucking possession.
There = specifies a fucking location.
You're = you fucking are.
Your = shows fucking possession.
We're = we fucking are.
Were = past fucking tense of "are".
Where = specifies a fucking location.
Than = a fucking comparison.
Then = a fucking point in time.
To = where it's fucking going.
Too = an excessive fucking amount.
Two = a fucking number.
It's = it fucking is.
Its = shows fucking possession.
This made me chuckle on fb. Lol |

"Should've
Could've
Are shortened versions of should have and could have not should of and could of."
You of no idea how many times I of bitten my lip when I could of listened to my tightening guts when I of read posts that keep on saying 'You should of this, I could of that.' It is the ONE that I find the most difficult to comment upon. Yet I of managed to sit back and think have England and not react. |

"Text tlk is Killin ow we speaks n grmmr "
This is why I opened this thread, we've got into lazy habits, and need to get back to English as we learned it.
I struggle, but I'm aware others do also, so a designated post to erase some of the bad habits we've got into. |

Yes and no. It's just evolution of the language really.
Shakespeare would listen to how we were taught English and wonder what had happened to the language I imagine. |

A simple way of remembering which to use for a couple of them...
If the sentence you want to write uses the words; 'they are' or, 'we are', then you can use 'they're' and 'we're', respectively. |

"seen/been instead of seeing/being.
As in:-
..seen as we was (sic) already there...
So chavvy"
Gasp! I had forgotten those.
People say.
Seen as he was been a cunt I should of hit him.
When it should be. Seeing as he was being a tad disagreeable I made my excuses and found enjoyment elsewhere with finer friends. |

"Who cares "
Me. It's infuriating and actually quite saddening when a fully functioning adult doesn't know how to use words correctly.
My personal pet hates are;
"We was"
"Should of"
"2mora"
"Anuva"
It makes me feel sick when multiple offences are combined in one sentence. |

"Polish,polish same spelling two completely different words changed only by a capital P. "
There's a church in Bristol with "Polish Church" carved on it. Even though many of the old churches have been redeveloped as housing, shops and furniture warehouses, it still confused me for far too long

My grammer problems are maybe down to a different form of English which is still probably correct......
We use "ye" for the plural of "you"
We use "bring and take" back to front..
We have been accredited with the saying "top of the morning".....when it doesn't really have a top.....

This thread was started to help people out with common grammatical errors...not criticise them.
I make basic errors with apostrophes and for years wrote "thankyou" instead of "thank you" luckily someone pointed this out to me nicely instead of belittling my lack of knowledge. |

Lazy people who can't be arsed to read what Has been written, even though there are mistakes.
If I said to you,
Move out of the way or you are going to hit with an brick
Would you stand there and risk getting hit with a brick while you corrected the sentence?
If you would, your not a defender of the English language, you're a fool who is going to get hit by a brick  |

Not necessarily wrong though. As a noun (a thankyou) it's acceptable, though more correctly in British English a thank-you. As a verb (I've I thank you) then as the kind someone pointed out, it should be 'thank you'. |

No grammatical error is as annoying as the easily offended brigade. I'm sorry but I have two close friends who are dyslexic and they have incredible spelling and grammar due to having worked hard at it all their lives.
An affliction is only an excuse if you let it be one.

There are dyslexics with a sense of humour I've met them.
See the joke isn't dependent on a dyslexic. It's funny in it's own brutality and frustration.

"Correction.
I find it very difficult to NOT comment on the of/have.
I'm going to start saying I could haveof done it. I ofhave got one."
I've lost count of the number of times I've posted this little anecdote from my schooldays, but here goes again....
A chap at school always used to say and write "of" instead of "have", so our English teacher who was also the Headmaster, made him write out 100 times, "If I had written have instead of of, I would have passed my English test" |
