10 grammar mistakes that make you look stupid

You don't have too be an jerk about it. I'm just kidding I think your rite. :laughing:
 
The number one grammar mistake is misusing apostrophes in plurals.

25 Mustang's In Stock!

I just ordered three gallon's of quick detailer.


What's worse, the plural apostrophe is never applied consistently throughout one post or even one sentence.

I had hamburger's with my friends at McDonalds. (If you didn't know McDonald's is possessive and requires an apostrophe, you flunk!)


I can see it now:

Saturday Grammar Class 101 at Autogeek, paid for by the Federal Government's "No Detailer Left Behind Program."
 
Sinceriously, I appreciate the education you have provided me. :D I don't know if anyone uses then instead of than more then I do. I was aware that I do this often but unaware of how stupid it made me look. :rolleyes: At least this wasn't one of the 10 mistakes that make you feel stupid. Im the MAN

Seriously though, thanks for the tips. :xyxthumbs:
 
I will be the first to admit I am "grammar" stupid and while we are here I can't spell. So with that said please don't expect to much from me! :dunno:

Well, you used to instead of too. I guess we can let it slide this once. :xyxthumbs:


That being said, I am willing to be the Chief of the Autogeek Spelling Police. I'm a stickler for good spelling and grammar in written communication.
 
Now I'm to too or two scared to post anything
 
I'm with the OP... I get rather flustrated (flustered + fustrated = flustrated) by some of the grammatical faux-pas I see on the web. It's like a tiny bit of the English language dies every time someone flagrantly makes a debauchery of it.

On the other hand, they say ignorance is bliss. Apparently, there are a LOT of people out there who are REALLY blissful. :bash:

:dunno::bolt:

I know I'm guilty of occasionally committing mistake #7.



#7: Different than for different from
No: This setup is different than the one at the main office.

Yes: This setup is different from the one at the main office.

Yes: This setup is better than the one at the main office.

I know this one is not a grammar mistake but the absolute worst, IMO, is when the word "the" is abbreviated to become "da". Especially here with "DA" meaning Dual Action.

e.g., I went to da garage to get da DA.

UHHG

Mistakes don't bother me too much but typing in slang or anything of the like really gets under my skin. :mad:

Shane should be made to be a Mod, with the title "Gramoderator". :laughing: :props:
 
I like this thread; it's so fun.

That's one that bothers me, when someone says that something is fun.
