Hm…
The best fortune I ever got was a mysterious grammatical nightmare: “Soon, and in the company of a young gentleman.”

THEY’RE never wrong, those fortune cookie fairies! THEIR fortune telling always comes true TOO.
And finding your fortune means YOU’RE about TO find the one, or TWO.
So THERE!!!

I don’t get it why people don’t understand the difference between they’re and their etc. It is even worse with then and than. How hard can it be?
Probably the same people who put their helmets on the back of their head instead of on top of it.

#99 Grammar
May 12, 2008 by clander
White people love rules. It explains why so they get upset when people cut in line, why they tip so religiously and why they become lawyers. But without a doubt, the rule system that white people love the most is grammar. It is in their blood not only to use perfect grammar but also to spend significant portions of time pointing out the errors of others.
When asking someone about their biggest annoyances in life, you might expect responses like “hunger,” “being poor,” or “getting shot.” If you ask a white person, the most common response will likely be “people who use ‘their’ when they mean ‘there.’ Maybe comma splices, I’m not sure but it’s definitely one of the two.”
If you wish to gain the respect of a white person, it’s probably a good idea that you find an obscure and debated grammar rule such as the “Oxford Comma” and take a firm stance on what you believe is correct. This is seen as more productive and forward thinking than simply stating your anger at the improper use of “it’s.

You are the only (woman) I have ever known who takes grammar as seriously as I do. Why can’t people know when to use who and whom correctly? Why do people still write breaks when they mean brakes? And on another note, why don’t people say excuse me any more? They just shove by . . . seemingly as if no one is there.
