taking grammar for granted

This photo is a little hard to see, but in a newsletter that recently came out in my sorority one of the pieces of advice said "don't take time for grant it," what it should say is "for granted."

cheers

wrong on so many levels

Aside from the obvious problems with this shirt (no comment on the content...) there are some serious grammar issues. Instead of "should of" each line of this classy outfit should say "should have."

One big yikes.

Stuck on grammar

In this description of the Mono Pico, an inventive walnut opener (yes, it's weird, it's for a class). there is a phrase that says "stucked into" which should read "stuck into."

At least they used the right "its."

bussing, or busing?

(image to go here, blogger is rejecting me!)

After our discussion about correct word usage in class, this little mistake caught my attention. When discussing the bus rides to our sorority formal this weekend, the emails read "Continuous Bussing" instead of "busing." One of which means kissing, and the other means, well, plain old riding on a bus.

Frankly, I think this mistake spices things up...

Hopefully...

After we talked about "hopefully" in class, I have been hyper-aware of how people around me (and even how I) use the word.

This is a partial list of a e-mails I have received in the last few weeks where hopefully has been used incorrectly. Instead of using it correctly to mean "in a hopeful manner," pretty much all of these have used it to mean "I hope."

Now I have a new way to annoy my friends by correcting their grammar.

Cheers.

Tattoo trouble

This was just too good to pass up. Just goes to show that proofreading is always key. Especially when you are about to tattoo something on your body.

Think about it

Here is a mistake on the capstone website, thinkdsm.com.

Captiol, meaning building, not capital.
