And here's a grammar lesson while you listen to the pretty music:
I am getting tired of seeing so many people misusing certain words in the english language. After re-reading the rules, it clearly says: Use proper punctuation and grammar. Now, although some of these example aren't really necessary, those that do know the proper use of the following words will not take you as seriously and think you're ignorant. So here's some simple pointers for you.
"Your" and "You're"
This is the most common one I see, yet it's the most simple.
Your car is very nice
You're a really good driver.
These are correct examples.
Your stupid.
Wrong! When using "your" in this context, that would make "stupid" a noun. "Stupid" is not a noun, it is an adjective, thus making the above pharase a fragment. Your typically goes in front of a noun. I sure hope you all know what a noun is. You're is a contraction of "You are" like in the example above. "You are a really good driver" still makes sense, right? Right. Get it?
"To" and "Too"
This one is also very common, but understandable if it's hard to keep up with. Just follow along.
I'm going too.
You are going to work.
These are correct examples.
I can't really explain just to because you use that one anyway. Too is what really throws many of you off. Just think of it like this: Too can be replaced by "As well" or "Also". If you replace Too with "As well" or "Also" and it still makes sense, chances are, you're using it right.
I want to go too.
I want to go as well.
You have one too.
You have one also.
But don't let that throw you off! Too is also used before words to emphasize a verb that excels.
She's too fast!
I'm too tired.
Again, I'm sure you know where to use them, but be sure you're using the right too.
"Their" and "There" and "They're"
Now how do you manage to misuse these? I've seen "There so stupid", or "Their wasn't anyone there". These are real examples I've seen! Wow!
Nobody lives there.
They're not going to let you in.
It was their idea.
These are correct examples.
With They're, It's just the same as You're. It is a contraction meaning "they are". It should be easy enough to remember.
They're so talented.
Easy enough.
There and Their should also be easy enough. Their is ownership that is typically placed in front of a noun.
Their dog is very cute.
There refers to a place and is typically placed in front of a verb. You all know what verbs are, right?
There used to be a tree there.
See?
"A" and "An"
These are very easy! If you read this, you should not have any more trouble with the use of these words!
A little girl came up to me today.
An intelligent woman is giving a grammar lesson.
These are correct examples.
An goes in front of a word that begins with a vowel (A, E, I, O and U). A goes in front of a word that begins with a consonant, including Y.
Now I hope this is helpful to some of you. I know a lot of you don't care at all about using proper grammar, but honestly, if you do, people will take you a lot more seriously. And I would know. I'll post more if I see anymore recurring mistakes.
