What’re the weekly effixes?

This post is effectively a rallying cry to those affected by the Grammar Police bug.

now turn them into adjectives

This is the one that drives me crazy. Also your and you’re.

That dictionary isn’t up to date.

Get yeet and yolo in there. (I almost vomited writing that sentence)

Did you just confuse The Elements of Style with the Oxford Manual of Style? Seriously?

They’re over there in their base.

Try not to think about it, there are far too many mistakes to care.

I know some people won’t like this but I’ve seen the phrase “my ability to do content in Lfr does not effect you” so many times. Just an interesting coincidence lol.

Calm down Ben afflect!

Supposably you’re right! You shouldn’t of assumed people would take your lesson seriously, expecially on the internet. Irregardless of how politely you put it, teaching grammar to adults is a whole nother challenge.

No hablo inglés.

I’m more surprised people don’t know the difference between “ya” and “yeah”.

I feel like you’re all missing the most egregious of grammatical offenses.

“Sylvanas never would of beaten Arthas.”

How many of you even recognize the error? A depressing few, I’m sure.

So many people these days hear themselves and others say “would’ve” and interpret it as “would of” without even recognizing that “would’ve” is actually a contraction of “would have”.

Does the Oxford Manual of Style cover the barbaric iron-age style you so gloriously affect?

It’s like than and then. I figure Americans just spell by sounding everything out and their accents mess it up.

It throws me out though when they use “check” instead of “cheque”. Or the battle of the missing “u” in so many of their words. As someone still learning English (the UK English), at times it’s hard getting used to switching.

No…
