Oh my gosh, YES!!!! The “BRGRDS” thing drives me absolutely batty. Same with “TKS”. (yes, I can see you are very thankful, since you couldn’t be bothered to type out the looooong word “thanks”). A to the men, sister.

Please review how to write things like “James’s party (James’ party?), when to write Plaintiff’s instead of Plaintiffs’, and when it is appropriate to write its’.

Thank you. You’re the best, so best regards,
Green

I think we should get rid of “by accident” altogether. We should use “accidentally.”

You know I love you.

This is spelling, not grammar, but I just saw it on a widely-read website: it peaked our curiosity.

Um, no. It piqued it.

Grammar errors go up my spine like nails on a blackboard! Little things like using “whenever” instead of “when”. Irregardless!! Using “less” when it should be “fewer”. I had a really obnoxious English teacher in junior high – she made me the grammar bitch I am today!

I definately agree that their are too many grammar errors. Its a pet peeve with me and your right to bring it to are attention.(Noticed that last little error on a sign yesterday on tv–Are Hero, Brett Favre) But it probably was on accident.

Thanks for acknowledging our grief. From the coverage yesterday you would have thought the Pope and the President had both died.
