Re: Principal Principle
I can understand Joe Public not using grammar correctly, but when it is on an official document, shop sign (ie made by a signwriter rather than hastily chalked on a board,) or in the newspaper, then time should be taken to get it right.
Both my OH and I find the lazy use of spelling, punctuation and grammar to be increasing. |

Both my OH and I find the lazy use of spelling, punctuation and grammar to be increasing. The level of competence in my new workplace is shocking, most of them are behind where I would have considered myself at the end of primary school |

Re: Principal Principle
I think people should be accurate. I mean I don't want my hypertension being mistaken for hypotension.
My dad used to get annoyed at folk confusing gasometers and gas-meters. |

Re: Principal Principle
My current pet hatred is the incorrect usage of "I" instead of "me".
I don't know if people think it makes them sound more intelligent to say "Sally and I" instead of "Sally and me" but it isn't always correct. It's really simple though - take out 'Sally and' in your sentence and then work out whether you'd use "I" or "me". Unless, of course, you aren't using a sentence containing "Sally"... :D (Yes, this is completely unimportant to most people. Do I care? No.) |
