Grammar
Start with spelling first.
This is why we educate at home.

And my vain attempt to shift the vane in a similar vein:
And BTW, Grammar is defined as a system of rules governing the structure of language and Grammer is an actor who played Frasier.Attached FilesLast edited by Crusty; 02-13-2018, 04:46 PM.I'll be yer Huckleberry.

Don't get me started on "less" vs. "fewer."
Fewer is a — theoretically — defined quantity. "Fewer people out at this hour." Not "less people."
Less is a — theoretically — undefined quantity. "Less sand than the other beach." Not, obviously, "fewer sand.":: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

Thanks all for the lead-in for this post.
None of them could spell or use the common words discussed herein, but my soon-to-be wife could.
I still like some of the phrases I picked up in the South.

There is a commercial on TV here that says "less people" and drives me nuts.
I wonder if it's actually an IQ test??? I once read that the emails from the "nigerian bankers" purposely have grammatical errors to weed out those who are probably too intelligent to fall for the scam... It's only a theory, I doubt that they're that smart."In any war, political or battlefield; truth is the first casualty."
