I wrote a "British grammarian" comment a couple of days ago... LOVE this sort of thing. This is a BRILLIANT observation, thanks. I don't actually think he meant it as "will", not "would". Man is not educated, can't articulate a grammatically sound sentence like the rest of us. It's just delicious that he phrased it like that.

Yes "And she called JD and I weird" more poor grammar.

And his math skills if he thinks there's more than 100%

Yes, that's such a common one it's hardly worth mentioning. I worry about the subjunctive when people millions can't differentiate between subject and object. Sigh.

Back to DJT... He's a very stable genius who passed the Montreal test with flying colour's.

Dam' it. Auto correct changed my flying colours to flying colour's. Now the world thinks I can't use the apostrophe correctly. Where's the Prussic acid?

I am constantly using the edit dots. Spellcheck has a lot of nerve!!

I have no idea what that means. When I say I'm non-techie, I MEAN it. Thanks anyway for trying to help.

I'll give you a pass on that one even though it shocked me coming from someone with your facility in English.

Thanks! Auto correct changes all plurals to 's but I don't always catch. I'm on to the next word before auto correct destroys my life. If I were techie, I'd switch off auto correct.

It happens to me too but one day I discovered that if I use a word not in the Apple dictionary just touch the unusual word as typed as it appears in the scroll below your comment.

It may almost be not worth mentioning, but having been raised by the grammar police, it annoys me every time I hear it. I find myself correcting my husband on that one.

Margaret, but, how do we know he passed anything but a regular dose of BS?

Noticed тАЬJD and IтАЭ too.

Oh, he's dumb.

IтАЩm the grammar police in my family and reading that made me cringe. The only thing worse than reading it would have been hearing it.

I'm glad to see that you didn't write, "It was cringe." That sends me up the wall.

IтАЩm glad (but not surprised) she didnтАЩt say тАЬwould of тАЭ, one of my pet peeves. I have a whole menagerie of them but theyтАЩre getting old, alas.

I was an English major.

And "would of" is definitely cringe worthy.

Well, I, sometimes leave letters out because I don't press hard enough. The Sisters the Blessed Sacrament would certainly be ashamed of me. ЁЯЩДЁЯдл

I often say one thousand percent, for emphasis. I don't think he knows the difference. Jajaja.

Expand full comment

Ha! Your Auntie Margaret says, stop yourself from saying 1000%... For emphasis, repeat 100% in a louder voice.

People often say 102%, 110% or whatever. Annoys the bejesus out of me. But then, quite a lot in life annoys the bejesus out of me.

My kind of woman.

Thanks. I'm the kind of woman who lets correct grammar override the fact we're supposed to be ensuring America doesn't re-elect Don-old. Back to Mary's podcast, eh?

Margaret, thank you so much for the past few comments, begun by a simple typing "error." I smiled all the way through. I'm just so glad other people also have grammar challenges as well as the tech, well let's say, annoyances.

Stuck in Classic Mental тАЬProjectionтАЭ take most anything he accuses others of and flip that back to what Trumpy does, or plots to do. Bingo! HeтАЩs given away what he did, does or plans to do.
