Once you enter the real world, you will find most people cannot use grammatical rules correctly. If you are an English major…or a grammar Nazi, you may react to grammar the same way a kid who is allergic to air may react to breathing. Yes, you will get hives. It is a little known fact that bad grammar causes hives.
At work, you will find that people think there should be semi-colons where there should be commas, apostrophes where none are needed, and comma-less listings of items.
Soon each memo you read will look like the 1980s are possessing everything with their 1980’s. And “its” trying to be better than the phrase “it is.” Well, it’s not.
And although you may be itching all over to this grammatical reaction, have no fear. Being able to spell “copy” instead of “copie” makes you better than everyone else. And within a year, you will surpass your boss if you wanted to do so.
Take that, illiterates!

Ha, I wish finding grammatical errors was a way to promotion. Instead I’m stuck correcting everybody’s papers. HOW MANY TIMES OF CORRECTING COMMA SPLICES DOES IT UNTIL SOMEONE LEARNS! And adding the final comma in a list, HOW HARD IS IT! Blah.
I laugh at the irony of this little blog because of its own inherent grammatical errors. Starting a sentence off with “And” makes that sentence a fragment, ya know
If you’ve ever taken blogging 101, you would know that a blog is allowed to break the rules. Because you aren’t writing a professional paper. You are trying to entertain others with an easy flow. So I will ironically keep doing my sentence fragments. Because they are wonderful. But thanks for reading far enough to find errors–even though what you pointed out didn’t relate to grammar, but sentence structure (although I’m sure I have a fair share of both).
