My worst are their, there, they're and two, to, too.
And it's an IDEA, not an IDEAL. You do not get a great ideal.
And there's the whole "I" vs "ME" in a sentence. My son's teacher told him is is always "I". She argued with me. (or should I say she argued with I?) |
That is the one that makes me yell at the TV every time. It seems to be more and more often that it is used wrong. ie: "Property Brothers" on HGTV-Jonathan says "meet Drew and I at your house" every single time!! Are you going to meet
I at your house or are you going to meet
me? It is on the news, on sitcoms, on commercials...does no one understand that is incorrect??? Another example: He brought the cake to Sally and I. Did he bring
I a cake or
me? That is how I was taught to determine which one to use. Remove the other pronoun and repeat the sentance. Does it still make sense? Say it the other way and see if it sounds better. That is your answer. (sorry-it is REALLY a pet peeve of mine
)
