Good luck with that. AXE has been the official "ask" for many decades and spoken by many colors!

I'm a bit of a grammar nazi myself, I have to admit, but for some funny reason #2 (Seen/saw, e.g., I seen a deer up yonder the other day) doesn't really bother me so much. Maybe its because I've been around lots of folks who speak that way, and they all know it ain't grammatically correct, they just do it anyways because that's how they grew up talking. For some reason it only gets under my skin when the bad grammar is the result of someone just flat out having no clue about the difference, like happens a lot with affect vs. effect.I admit I'm a bit of a grammar nazi. I don't take it to the extreme, but there are certain words that drive me nuts. I blame social media and the fact that the dumbest members of society are also the most vocal. Here's a list in no particular order:
1. Affect / effect (Shooting without hearing protection can effect your hearing.)
2. Seen / saw (I seen my neighbor at the Walmart's.)
3. Brake / break (I changed the breaks on my car this weekend.)
4. Then / than (I locked the door and turned off the lights than I went to bed.)
5. Of / have (I would of cooked supper, but my wife beat me to it.)
Add to the list as necessary.
Really?anyways
Listening now.
Oh, crap! That one slipped right by me. I'll turn in my grammar nazi card now.Really?

It was actually on purpose. The intentional misspelling is the joke. My brain/sense of humor is... different.So .... would you like the title corrected?

I suspected as much...but it did give me the chance to use "could of" in this thread. That one makes me crazy.It was actually on purpose. The intentional misspelling is the joke. My brain/sense of humor is... different.
