Searching comments on presidential candidates’ Facebook pages in search of grammatical errors, typos, misplaced or missing apostrophes, unnecessary capital letters and redundant exclamation points bears fruit in seconds:
Amid this flawed, headache-inducing verbiage, there is a pattern.
So says Grammarly, a private, San Francisco-based company behind what’s billed as “the world’s leading automated proofreader.”
The company analyzed comments on 19 presidential candidates’ Facebook pages and found that:
1) supporters of Republican candidates make more mistakes than supporters of Democrats;
2) supporters of Republican candidates use fewer unique words than supporters of Democrats; and
3) Donald Trump supporters made the most mistakes of them all.

Justin Wm. Moyer @justinwmmoyer
@Bratayley Washington Post here. So sorry for your loss. Are you available for an interview? Please write: justin.moyer@washpost.com
So what? Do these people not deserve their say in our government? Is that only reserved for Boston Brahmins, and Bay Area tech workers? All the rest of us must obediently follow?
To be perfectly clear, I would go as far as to say that, in a manner of speech, you have caught the essence here, without expanding the goal lines within the perimeters of this discussion, so that, by avoiding any putting of the Daedalean cart before the horse , your thinking both inside and outside the box has enabled you to achieve the revelation, so to speak, of the macrocosm of this usually labyrinthine matter.
Don’t be deluded.
Kudos for their creativity in inventing a new angle of attack. At least it’s not the same old name calling crapola.
This one won’t work any better than the others, though.
I never dreamed how much fun it could be, watching frustrated journalists flop-sweat.
i think you meen
‘i cunnt putt my fingr on it til i seen this their so smart in washintun’
Obama pronounces “corpsman” as “corpseman.” Just sayin’.
I wish Trump would wedgie his detractors ‘em for added emphasis. And those are the same guys that listen to rap crap and say Trump is illiterate. The irony is thick...,
You leave my granma outta this.
Grammar Nazis inbound because that's all they got. They can't articulate a logical or reasonable argument that requires critical or objective thinking because they're stuck on the agenda.
If items 1 & 2 are correct then Democrats have totally lost support of all ghetto blacks, Hispanic, yuppie texters and other low information voters. That would be bad how?
In other news, it was found that the Washington Post pays people to scour Internet postings for minor errors in English. Stockholders protest.
“Trump supporters have the worst Facebook grammar, study finds”
There is no category of “facebook grammar” anymore than there is “Washington Post” grammar.
Grammar is grammar wherever it is used.
The title should read:
Study on Facebook finds that Trump Supporters have the worst grammar.
Then again I don’t think the writer would understand the distinction I’m drawing.
It’s an IQ thingy.
Dumb Trump supporter.
STE
Because they are busy, using smartphones, dashing off between work appointments with no leisure time to sip latte and do proofreading;
2) supporters of Republican candidates use fewer unique words than supporters of Democrats; and
Because they are secure, have no need to impress others, and are direct and economical with their time and their expression;
3) Donald Trump supporters made the most mistakes of them all.
Because they are the busiest, most energetic and on-the-go people in the USA, and because they have so many illegals and imported 3rd-worlders to support with their tax dollars, while those too illiterate or poor to be on the Internet don't figure in this study, and those rich enough to idly polish their snarks have nothing better to do than stay online all day.
Citizens need a man of action to be President - someone who will stop illegal immigration, built the wall, help vets, save social security, make better trade deals and beef up the military.
We don't want someone who will sit in a DC drawing rooms and dazzle English lit majors with bullsh*t...
Which is what Justin Wm. Moyer and the Washington Post elites want. "Yes, to hell with the country, WE want a President who's fun to talk to at State Dinners"...
Can you ping me a link? I want to sign on.
Trump supporters have the worst Facebook grammar
does that mean they’re REAL unlike Obama’s and Clinton’s ?
Did the WP ever do a study on the grammar of Obama supporters?
And the once great Washington Post has become a platform from which to push the liberal democrat agenda.
Not worth the print it uses.
Just as an aside, I wood love it if teh NYT had to publishify all gr4mm4tical/spelling errors from (it’s’) writers pre-edit.
