Today's grammar lesson
Attention people of earth-
The past tense of "text" is "texted."
I swear on all that is holy I'm going to have to unfriend a woman I've known for years because all I see in my newsfeed on Facebook is how she text her husband this and she text her kid that and her kid text her back.
That is all.

Christ on a cupcake, are you from the Midwest??? I am from out West and moved a few years ago to the Midwest and it seems everyone says that, which makes me want to scream!!
Not only that but I also recently heard a member of our school board say liberry. Just kill me.
Never "seen it", but have
Never "seen it", but have "seen that" Lol.
Central mid-state Illinois. Quite common. Usually spoken, not written.
Same. NW Indiana here. It
Same. NW Indiana here. It grates on my nerves!
It is "should have" or
It is "should have" or "should've" but never "should of". As in, "I should have texted him back."

Around here it is "acrost" as opposed to "across."
Specific versus Pacific. One
Specific versus Pacific. One is an adjective. One is an ocean. They are not interchangeable.

Every time I see someone talk about "loosing weight" I think about big gobs of loose floating around fat rolls.
I could care less. Really,

Really, could you?! I couldn't care less. Thank you.
If you could care less, you
If you could care less, you would, right??
Yet another of my grammar pet peeves.

My MIL spells my name
My MIL spells my name incorrectly, as well. It's her go-to passive aggressive move. I haven't spoken to her in almost two years, but every once in a while, I will see an envelope from an anniversary card that she has sent to the house with my incorrectly spelled name in larger print than my DH's name.
Snorty...I survived her idiot grandson, ASS. Gonna take a lot more than an erroneous "I" to bring me down
We did? Now I am very

don't forget "EXpecially."
don't forget "EXpecially." My darling DH is guilty of this. I correct him every single time. He also has a penchant for "could have went" instead of "could have gone."
We went to the same high school. We had the same English teachers. He holds an advanced degree. Still says "oh man, we could have went blah blah blah."
I simply turn to him and ask him if he's trying to sound uneducated. That's the thing that folks don't seem to understand - when you speak incorrectly, you sound dumb. Or like a B< }:)

my ENGINEER husband says that, too. More like "nook-ya-lure" but certainly incorrectly said.
