Grammar Police: to serve and correct

[lmichelle599]

I think there needs to be grammar and usage checks when people write product reviews on websites. I actually saw one that contained "see threw". Really?

I weep for our society.

*smh*

As I've gained more students and more friends with various disabilities, I find my tolerance for wrong homonyms and misspellings (especially ones that make real words) has really gone up.

You'd need a reasonably good grammar and usage checker to catch "see threw" because both are real words; one's just the wrong homonym.

Yes, but some people are also idiots. :P

I agree. The incorrect use of:
to, too and two
there, their and they're
then and than
correct gender; he-she, him-her, his-hers

Typos I can understand.

It's called proofreading. ;)
