Is basic grammar syntax and spelling being taught in schools? I am appalled when I read some of the literature that is written by teachers, and I'm in awe that businesses spend thousands of dollars on advertising with misspelled words. Classic boners that irritate me: (1) using apostrophes when making a noun plural - cat’s and dog’s (2) using “to” and “too” – “You are to funny” (3) “Me and him went to the store” (4) “There is some shoppers in the store” (5) “I don’t have nothing” (6) “My wallet was tooken” (6) “I drug the garbage can out to the street.” But my main complaint is ENUNCIATION. TV and radio reporters, advertising spokespeople, politicians, teachers, etc. constantly do not pronounce the letter “t” – innerview (interview), winner (winter), innerject (interject), innernet (internet), counny (county), sennence (sentence)…Are we that lazy to not put in that little effort to enunciate words? Are you guilty of this?
