I posted this same rant on my Facebook page. My daughter's boyfriend replied that grammar is the difference between "knowing your s***," and "knowing you're s***." I answered that the one I'd heard is, the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and.... (blush). Another friend offered "let's eat, Grandma" versus "let's eat Grandma."

To the Facebook friend who remarked that there's a right way and a wrong way to do things, I agreed, but I added that there can be more than one right way, and any right way is fine. British spelling as opposed to American is a good example. I also understand that there are different ways to pronounce words like "tomato" and "either." But... there are also wrong ways. When people are putting on airs, trying to come off like they're all educated and upper class, and then they pronounce the B in "subtle," and talk about "shammily" tea when they mean chamomile, do you find it hard not to laugh?
