Mispellings and misused grammar
I don't know what it is, but some mispellings and misusage of grammar really bug me. Folks, it's not "I seen" it's "I saw that" seen is only used when posing a question to another person or group, ie "Have you guys seen this movie?" Seen is not used in first person. Also, then is not a substitute for than. Than is used for comparison, then is used for declaring an order for events or objects, or for describing a cause and effect. They are not interchangeable. "I'd rather do this than that" and "I'd rather do this then that" have two different meanings. The first means you don't want to do 'that' if you could do 'this.' The latter means that you plan to do both 'this' and 'that' but that 'this' is first on your priority.
What set me off? I saw someone use both of those words incorrectly today and also misspell 'glamorous' as 'glamoris'
I know some people aren't exactly the best at spelling, but bad grammar has no excuse.
