Spring Practice Day #2: Tues. March 5, 2019 7:15 AM

OT. I've always enjoyed proper english. I correct misspellings on bathroom walls... I've grown rather fond of the inability to make a proper sentence. When I see a tweet from a University that says, "We back", I smile. I like it. Afterwards, I'm pissed that a University couldn't write a 3 word sentence.

Sucks getting old.

It's a never-ending source of irritation for me when a university won't use proper English. Every year, they forget a comma in "Thank you, seniors." Even syracuse.com got that right this week.

We back.
It's a colloquialism. Which by definition doesn't require proper grammar.

You know, like - he gone.

Among my many grammar-Nazi pet peeves, are when people state they are "glad to be apart of... "
when what they mean is "glad to be a part of..."

But the biggest, by far, is all the bastardizations of would've, could've, should've, which get typed out as:
would of, could of, should of.
These things are literally meaningless gibberish.

I apologize for my posts then, serious cases of fumble thumbs. I always have to go back and edit.

My wife teaches English grammar so she is always on me for any use of improper English. Her biggest pet peeve is 'brang' which is not a word but I always use to annoy her. I also like to annoy her by saying 'more better' or take it up a notch to 'most bestest'.

Also add "Anyways"... It's "Anyway", the word is already plural.

Among the many things that bother me, quite for quiet and, one that appears on this board frequently, noone for no one. And don't get me started on their, they're and there. Glad I got that off my chest.

FANBOYS. For, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so require a comma if they are followed by complete sentences.

Actually, those are contractions of would HAVE, could HAVE and should HAVE. ;-)
