  • How is it EVERYONE gets this question right, and yet the people I encounter on an everyday basis can't seem to grasp the concept?

    Maybe the people that weren't sure looked at the poll results before they voted...

    That must be it.  Otherwise, I think most people could figure it out if they stopped and thought about it, but it's not ingrained enough to use the correct choice reflexively?

     

    Can I also add that the title of the " If your bored, help me find shoes." post is making me twitchy?  (Sorry TJ, I can't help it!)

  • I want to do this poll for affect/effect and that/who. Those are my new grammar pet peeves.

    AGH! I didn't even notice it! Typically, errors like that make me INSANE. I know the difference, and I correct things like that when I see them in emails to me from others (it's a thing I do and I can't help it). I don't know what I was doing? Now I'm all embarrassed because it clearly looks like I don't know the difference between your/you're. ::head desk::

    Ha! Are you referring to my comment? Embarrassed Honestly, I wasn't sure if I should use who or whom (those two have always confused me. I've looked them up and thought I understood them, but I always seem to forget.) so I was lazy and used 'that' instead. But I looked up the who/whom thing again and realized it should've been 'who'.

  • Kaylee, I honestly didn't even notice yours until you pointed it out. Don't want you to think I was calling you out! Who/whom still confuses me sometimes, but mistakes on that/who have been driving me nuts lately.

  • Alright, we all know I am not the grammar police. I can barely speak/write English as it is.

    I always get effect/affect and who/whom mixed up. 

    Thank God I understand numbers stuff.
