Argh! Friends with poor grammar

Oh dear.

The newsletters that come from school here are always filled with bad grammar. I've been so tempted to highlight the mistakes and post it back. You'd think coming from a school it would be perfect!

Oh no. We regularly have notices posted around the office with grammar mistakes in them - I have to fight the urge not to take a large red marker pen to them..................

?

Every single email or letter from every one of my in-laws is riddled with there/their/they're and where/were/we're mistakes. Also there is not much use of proper or useful punctuation. It makes for really hard reading.

On an email, I could 'almost' understand, if you're not particularly pc literate or know your way round a keyboard, but surely people know how to write a letter? No?

My husband's grammar is awful and I notice lots of hand written signs with shocking spelling and grammar. So no, it's not an American thing!

I cannot abide bad grammar and bad spelling.

My ILs always say, "Can you learn me to do something?" instead of "Can you teach me to do something?"

They also say, "Can you remember me to do something?" instead of "Can you remind me to do something?"

I'm hoping my daughter doesn't use learn/teach and remember/remind wrongly.

The one that really gets me is 'can you borrow me some money' aaarrrrggghhhhh its 'LEND' FFS

Urghh, I hate both of those!

Sadly it's not only an American thing. My husband's grammar is bad too but I've given up correcting him.

I'm not sure if some of his 'sayings' are because he was originally from 'ooop North' and then lived in Devon! In answer to me saying 'I was.......' he says 'Was you?' and it drives me mad!
