My inner Grammar Nazi is in pain!
Cooljw1
Anyone else bothered by how dirty that whiteboard is?

I just spent two hours yesterday teaching 20+ year old on basic grammar so maybe I'll use something like his next.

I am pretty much unhinged right now.

I'm a science teacher, language is important, this made me cringe... because its is oh so terrifyingly true...

GG, Ms. Jenkins.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
I didn't have any teacher that wasn't bitchy that used Ms instead of Mrs or Miss

What the hell is homophones replacing?
LittleE92
If 2 words sound the same but mean something else and the person uses the wrong one. Such as I know him v.s. I no him
Andalite
I know the definition of the word. I meant what word is it replacing? "No" is replacing "know" in your example.

That was difficult to reaf

"Would of"... as a non-english speaking person, why do you English persons accept this to become a vernacular usage?

On one hand, it's terrible. On the other, I could understand it. There are a lot of people who both can't spell and form coherent sentences.

I wish we could stop equating spelling errors with intelligence, I'm guilty of it too, but I try to look past it, some wisdom isn't in books
AcidicVanLividLove
And this is coming from a bibliophile. My new way of looking at it is if a person can understand what you mean or not
kerBamf
Your use of punctuation is concerning.
AcidicVanLividLove
Word, I make no excuses but I was on the throne writing this and it all just felt right
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
This teacher is doing an excellent job, IMO. Spelling and grammar are important. Language evolves, but we should still teach the basics.
eabonin
One of my bosses was dreadful with spelling, but he was easily the best manager I have had; he was in his 1st year of it too.
luukzs666luukzs
I have the same problem, but some people really write wrong on purpose and it's just horrible...
CmRock136
R u trying to say sum ppl jus dunno wut there doin wen they is righting becuz they is lazy??
BritishBatman
Those aren't spelling errors. Those are the wrong words.
AcidicVanLividLove
Sure it all comes back to a grammar but I stick by my point, just cause u used the wrong word, incorrect spelling etc doesn't mean ur stupid
AcidicVanLividLove
I guess my main issue is pedants confusing the tree for the forest
BritishBatman
It does, however indicate a certain lack of care or effort.
PndaCrk
I'm sorry Ms.Jenkins oooooooooooooh!
Highwired
I am fo real! I never meant to make your grammar die, I apologize a million times!

Ms Jenkins why do you hurt people like this

Tale and tell are not homophones. Not in any accent I can think of, anyway.

Fairly close in California.
TheCaveChemLady
Come to Appalachia. Be awed by our ability to make new homophones. And dont even get me started on the rare Appalachian silent "L"...

Yea, in Idaho they are. We also have many many many "For Sell" signs to marvel over.
