Understanding Grammar And Grammer

Grammar: Definition and Usage

Grammar refers to the rules governing the structure of language. It encompasses sentence structure, punctuation, parts of speech, and proper word usage. These rules ensure that communication is clear and effective.

Whether you are writing a formal essay or having a casual conversation, grammar is what keeps your sentences structured and meaningful.

@occasionalrain thought you might like to review grammar and grammer. Found this interesting. Grammer is not always wrong , it is the way you use it.

What I find unacceptable is the incorrect grammer used by professional journalists. They often use I when it should be me. "The party was for Susan and me." not "The party was for Susan and I" If in doubt, remove Susan. You wouldn't say the party was for I.

@occasionalrain That's exactly how I was taught how to use the two. I had the best English teacher in junior high, who also taught us to say, "different from," rather than, "different "than." Her teachings stuck with me all these years.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

My dad had PhDs in English and History. He always said we shouldn't criticize others who make grammar mistakes. He said many don't have the same education, abilities, comprehension, and other skills. They are doing their best just like we are.

The English language and grammar is a lost way.
Most cannot write a handwritten letter.
I get emails, business, and the slang is thrown in.
I am a BOOMER and the last generation in my opinion who can converse
And write to the letter of the law lol

I go out and shop and it amazes me the language I hear.
Yeah, it is ALL foreign to me lol.

@shoekitty - I was in the middle of answering another post from you when a message came up and I couldn't.

I wanted to clarify I didn't mean here on the forums! I meant on the Internet in general, like articles from different sources. It seems like news outlets, magazines,etc. hire writers who don't review their work. They are probably paid well, and they are probably 12 - LOL!

It's different here. We're informal with each other, almost like we're talking to each other. I know a lot of times when I'm typing, I'm in a hurry, something distracts me, or DH comes in and needs something right now! Once in a while I will notice a mistake after I've already posted! I think that probably happens to a lot of us!
