Grammar Gestapo

[naruki_oni]

I have learned from much painful experience not to be a total ass when someone shows a genuine inability to type correctly. But the occasional typo or grammar/spelling mistake is still fair game, when discussed amiably. And flagrant and unrepentant offenders deserve whatever crap they catch from me or others.

That said, here is a place to note things that tick you off, or at least make you go "Hmm..."

This post was inspired by the repeated misuse by one poster of "whom" where "who" would have been correct. I say that as one whom [sic] has occasionally been guilty of such mis-usage, but the glaring errors are painful to ignore. ;-)

"There's" with plural nouns sucks too

"There's only two people I can't stand."

"There's three great reasons to buy now!"

&c.

Blegh.
