What grammatical errors bug you the most?

by poppers in

jw
friends

for me it's the use of : .

it's as a possessive - it's means "it is", so if you don't want to say "it is" don't use the apostrophe.

there are others that bug me but this one is the worst.

Poor grammar drives me mad! Here are a couple more:

Prolly instead of Probably (actually, this is a spelling issue)
Use instead of Used (she use to go to the meetings, but now she does not)

favourite games to play as a child during boring meetings

by Surfacing in

my parents were both very strict, and i wasn't allowed any toys at the hall.

my rations included a copy of my book of bible stories, and a pen and note pad.

my parents were strict to the point of not allowing me to draw pictures, i had to "take notes".

I did alot of the distractions mentioned above (biting my nails, drawing, word searches in the magazines, zone out and daydream, etc.). But my favorite was seeing how long I could hold my breath. I would use my watch to time myself - I actually became pretty good. I could go for a little over 2 minutes - but had to be super careful on the exhale, because if it came out too loud, I would get the "look" from my Mom.

Corvin, I am so sorry! I think Blondie gave you some very good advice. You do need to stay as calm as possible so that, as the authorities try to sort through the issues, they will see you for what you are - the sane, stable, loving parent. And as much as you can, keep your daughter away from the back and forth issues between you and your ex.

Also, you may want to think about printing out copies of your posts here on JWD - where you have been talking about the issues going on. I don't know that it would be considered substantial proof, but it may be circumstantial evidence that the authorities would take into consideration.

I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you and your family. Please keep us posted.

When I am sick with a fever, I'm with Stinky Pants . . . there is something so soothing about moaning!

Usually, you'll find me either in bed watching TV or sleeping . . . or taking a long, hot bath! I've been known to spend many hours in the bath to nurse the chills!

As for food, usually nothing. But gotta have the carbonated water when I'm sick to my stomach.
