Where's the grammar police??

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

OK Let's review:

'Their' means something which belongs to some one. "I like their chickens."
'They're' means they are as in "They are crazy about chickens."
'There' means a place. "My chickens are over there!"

Seen instead of have seen. I have seen those chickens before .
I saw those chickens yesterday.
If the word "seen" is in the sentence as a verb there must be a "have" in there too.

OK class all done now! Get back to your chickens!

The grammar police ARE right here. You used 'Where's' which is an abbreviation for 'Where is' - instead of 'Where are' and that's a pluralization offense. That'll be 20 'Hail Renee's!!!!!!'

Although I do definitely have major issues with the grammar and spelling around here, lately, I only hold myself accountable as the grammar nazi. I forgive everyone else.

Do we not get a break when we are here posting? Most everyone gets the 'point' whether it is spelled correctly or not. It would take me longer to post if I reread everything I typed and by then I'm way down the list. Or some one else beat me to a response.

to: I am going to the chicken coop.
too: I have chickens too.
two: I have more than two chickens!

If you can use the word, also, then the correct form is too. That's a good test.

yes, fast typing is allowed!! I catch all kinds of typos in my posts and sometimes I submit them that way on accident. If you are in a hurry, to win the contests, then it does take too long to check grammar!! And, then you add dial-up to it, and you're even farther down the list.

I can understand Wanting to correct grammar. With all due respect I feel that even when doing it in a playful manner it can come across as condesending. I choose to ignore mistakes so that every one feels comfortable.

I/me/us was/were going to come back and edit this for grammar but I/we/us couldn't decide and I/we/us are having an argument over what is correct.

I had a sister in law who worked in a development center for the mentally challenged. It was in my beat so I stopped to visit everyday and say Hi!!
I got to interact with those wonderful accepting people a lot. I would take them any day over some who look down long noses, and think they are smarter than most.

Good grammar is a desired quality most of the time. Humility, understanding, and common courtesy is the best quality ALL the time. In a debate a good sign as to a ill equipped participant is how quickly they resort to pointing out grammar.

As far as us we are rednecks, I guess that is why we find so much humor in ourselves. We just don't worry about petty things in life. There are more important things to worry about, and too much fun to be had in life without finding unnecessary things to stress over.
