Using the noun “fun” as an adjective or adverb as in “How fun.”

It's 'An' when the 'h' is silent. The biggest abusers are those who read you the news.

"Should of" does not equate to "should have".

Why are you harping on grammar?

The most common error I have seen involves possessive/contraction/plural/plural possessive... or do they just shotgun apostrophes on the page?

We need to redouble our grammatical efforts once again. Irregardless of the challenge.
To: B4Ranch
While we’re at it, let’s stamp out apostrophe abuse. Use of apostrophe’s to pluralize word’s drives me nut’s!
To: B4Ranch
I agree.
And 2nd the post adding lose/loose.
Never mind definAtely.
Oh, I cannot stand the stupidity!

OK, I have long complied with all six examples.
However, I don’t totally agree with #4. Texting
has helped a new generation to learn to
appreciate the uses of the written word and
how important reading is to the culture.

I hear this a lot...
You ask a person how they are. They answer something like “Fine, and yourself?”
It should be “...and you?”
I noticed this about 15 years ago and it really grates on me. It’s the equivalent of saying “I’m fine. How are yourself?”.

My pet peeve is the substitution of “to do” for action verbs. Without extending our vocabulary, we fail to express our intended meanings.

Anyone notice how the news is read to television viewers?
The ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox readers speak as though they are captioning the video images that accompany the news.
They can't compose and speak a complete sentence to save their lives.

Certainly not a grammar error, but I really get bent out of shape when people use the term “clip” for a “magazine”.
