I'm seeing a lot of past participles being thrown around here, and frankly, it's disturbing.
(Now if only I can remember what a participle is....)

I'm an English professor, and even I think correcting grammar online is a fool's errand. Plus, there's the fact that nobody is paying me to do it. When I had to make my living by editing textbook copy for 10 hours a day a few years ago, I quickly got over the need to correct anyone's English for free.

You know what else is important?
No apostrophe in a pluralization. "New custom's!" "I bought some Joe's!" I'm not even that anal, but that makes my head hurt. I see it more often on here than any other type of error(including the tons I make myself). I think it bugs me since it actually takes more effort to make it wrong that way. |
