It's GRAMMAR school

[Ivegotthree]

That's all

Appealing a conviction - surely it should be appealing against - or is it just MYSELF that thinks that?

A question mark unnecessarily at the end of a sentence. Just because a sentence contains a query word it does not mean that it is a question.

Lots of womAn feel this way, just ask MySELF.

Just BEEN honest.

How are you?
I'm good.

Good at what?!

Saying a large AMOUNT of people when it should be a large NUMBER of people.

Casting nasturtiums popped up last week

Going against the grain.

He text me last week TEXTED
She gifted me GAVE

This thread is making me anxious.

And no doubt that is written wrongly.

I have a medical degree but still find some of this grammer difficult to get right.

What is incorrect about en route? I used that last week on a medical forum and now think everyone would have been laughing at me.

Me, I, myself still troubles me.

I desperately want to get all this correct especially when writing to patients or other professionals but I know I must make some terrible grammatical faux pas.

casting nasturtiums?

😮

There is nothing wrong with ‘en route’.

It’s grammAr btw.

I asked for a lend of something from my friend.

Argh!

"It belongs to you and I". (Cliff singing on the radio)
It doesn't! It belongs to you and me!

When I offer a colleague a cup of tea she says 'I'm good thanks'🙄

I agree, stay away from pedants corner. My spelling and grammar did not get corrected in middle school when we started using a lot of the words and grammar that seems to annoy other MNetters.

Stray S there because I’m on my phone.

Here here.
En mass.

OP, your right. It really annoy's me to.

Stiffasaboard not sure what to say but the thread is tongue in cheek. Apologies for making you feel anxious. I'd think we all make mistakes, grammatical/spelling/other sometimes.

Get off of the train

@Stiffasaboard, en route is correct. People sometimes write on route which is infuriating. With me/I, for example, 'Jackie and I are going out' is correct. (Check it by asking yourself would I say I am going out, or me is going out?)

Another example, 'The raffle prize was for me and my sister. (Again, check by thinking would I say the prize was for me or the prize was for I?)

Can I get a ...

No. No.

May I have a...

I'm not sure why exactly but Sir Alan's 'most amount of money' really grates with me. Shouldn't it just be 'the team who makes the most money?'

“Didn’t used to” is correct, though it can be “didn’t use to”. It’s not a normal past tense verb and doesn’t behave like one.
“ The most common negative form of used to is didn't used to (or didn't use to)” - Collins English Dictionary

I dislike "more superior to ....". Surely superior is already a comparative?
