When people incorrectly say “ grammar error “ instead of “ grammatical error.

Jk. I am a walking error-in-progress.
“Your a bafoon “ would be my favorite incorrect board insult.

I see that more often on TD than any other mistake. It really changes the way a sentence reads compared to the others. Just thinking of someone defiantly doing something mundane is hilarious.

FIFY, and there's one answer.

Just kidding! "Would of" is the worst. Your/you're is top 5.

Some of the grammar errors on here are just spelling errors, or autospell-correction errors.

Defiantly loose.


Never noticed defiantly but loose/lose is at epidemic levels. I don't know why that is or why it bugs me so much but definitely the one that I cringe over the most.

Than/Then

Example:
“I’d rather date a girl with a few extra pounds then a skeleton with no figure.”

Dominate/Dominant might be the most frequent one on here

LSU is a “dominate” team

For some reason, there are a lot of people on this site who don't know when to use "dominant" instead of "dominate".

I almost believe it's an inside joke on this site that I'm just not aware of, because it happens so often.

ETA: Saw that TheWalrus pointed out the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one who notices that terrible trend.
