This conversation reminded me of a pet peeve of my English grammar professor in college. He was from Wisconsin but teaching college down South.
He said that he cringes when he hears people say they were sitting in the road or sitting in the floor. He said that nobody can physically sit in a road or in a floor. You sit on a road or on a floor. I have heard it said wrong my entire life and even now I catch myself typing it wrong and have to correct it. Even our teachers at school said it wrong. 😁
I notice poor grammar but I’m not OCD about it. My husband is a retired electrical engineer, and he can butcher the English language better than anybody I know. Sometimes he will ask me how to spell something because spellchecker told him that his way was wrong. When I spell it to him he says, “that’s now how I say it”. I just laugh and say “yep”.
So the Beatles were wrong too?!?!
