An English major who makes mistakes with Do/Does should be ashamed of themselves quite frankly :P :D<br /><br />To me it isn't the clear mistakes that bother, a slip of the tong or slip of the keyboard is one thing when it is a conversation (for example on twitter) it is another thing in formal writing or on the news, I guess in a "serious" setting.Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504105694800511170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-60349795469525907322010-03-07T16:49:14.360+01:002010-03-07T16:49:14.360+01:00I feel like a big hypocrite, because while certain...I feel like a big hypocrite, because while certain mistakes drive me nuts (its/it's, they're/their, etc), I know I make PLENTY of my own :PAna S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-44968189156634938252010-03-04T18:25:01.869+01:002010-03-04T18:25:01.869+01:00Too funny about being a grammar Nazi.

Sometimes your fingers are faster than your brain, or maybe the other way around. Some errors are bound to come in.<br /><br />Plus, I correct my family...and people on tv...I didn't say that they listen to me :P as a matter of fact they have all picked a particular grammar error that they know bug me and insist on using it. Regularly. In order to drive me insane :DZeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504105694800511170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352625826349400447.post-60185546171579472272010-03-04T14:59:29.252+01:002010-03-04T14:59:29.252+01:00Thank you for the warning.

I do not mean to say that I'm intimidated by you. I'm cheering on your stickler-nature and desire to be a terrific English teacher, really I am. Tone of voice gets lost in typing, would you not agree?) In fact, I welcome any correction I might need here. Am I grammatically correct?) :)Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478474870247729611noreply@blogger.com
