I can not stand bad grammar!

Lately I've had to tolerate listening to people who use the words "minus" and "plus" as verbs!

Here's a prime example of bad grammar:

"Jack minused the numbers"

The word "minus" is not a verb. It can be used as a preposition or an adjective. What does that mean to those who are grammatically handicapped??

"Minus" means "without". Here's an example of bad grammar using the word "without" instead of "minus"

"Jack withouted the numbers"

Can anyone "without" numbers? NO NO NO!!!!! WITHOUT is not an action! WITHOUT is not a verb!

A correct use of the word "minus" would be the following:

"Five minus two is equal to Five without Two"

This problem recurs when some idiots use the word "plus" as a verb. For example:

Jack "plussed" the numbers

NO, NO, NO! Jack "added" the numbers! A synonym to "plus" is "with". For example:

"Five plus two is equal to Five with two"

So, from now on, DO NOT use "minus" or "plus" as verbs unless you are just plain stupid!

******
"So Much...."

"So Much" is "SO" frequently used incorrectly "That" it needs to be corrected!

If you ever hear someone use the phrase "so much" make sure they use it correctly!

WRONG: I think their grammar is crappy "so much so that" it smells bad

RIGHT: I think their grammar is "so crappy that" it smells bad.

CAN'T YOU SEE the REPETITIVENESS of using the phrase "SO MUCH SO THAT"????

If not, I think you should go back to grade school!!!

Do you ever watch TV News?


TV News anchors, reporters, and producers are constantly using fragments in their copy. If you ever watch the news, you'll hear the anchor or reporter read a script that says something grammatically incorrect, like this:

"A blazing fire in the East Bay. That tops our news"

or

"Children in a runaway school bus! That and more at 11"

or

"Computers turning into dating machines."

Do you ever notice that they are not using verbs? Hmmm, that makes these statements just fragments!
And the worst part of it all is that news people pride themselves on writing scripts that are supposedly colloquial. That means that their writing is supposed to sound similar to the way we talk in everyday life.

I don't speak in fragments!!!!!!

Do you want me to write in fragments from now on? Here's what it would sound like:

Me: What up?
You: Work hard at office
Me: What work?
You: Office work for business.
Me: Business days stretching schedules

Does it sound CAVEMAN or GHETTO?

UGHHHHHH BAD GRAMMAR!
