I was speaking to myspace friend Claire the other day about how good her blog writing is and that I admired the fact that her grammar and spelling are always spot on. A girl truly after my own heart. Most people who know me well are aware of how much of a stickler I am for the correct use of grammar and punctuation. It is increasingly making me scream inwardly when I read stuff on this site (bulletins, comments etc)and on other forums that fall short of the mark when it comes to the afore mentioned subject.
It's not just young people, which you can kind of forgive if they don't teach it in schools these days, it's people of all ages. What is the excuse please?
I try my hardest not to judge people by their grammar but it's certainly frustating. Even some of my work colleagues don't know how to use the fantasticly versatile apostrophe and this is particularly annoying when our section deals with writing letters to customers!
I wonder how many people are out there who are able to get it right. Probably people who don't often frequent these sites, maybe?!
So come on everybody, it's YOU'RE (you are) not YOUR!
nb. I have of course, read and reread this entry to ensure all my grammer is correct!!
