English 101.....

Let me preface this blog by saying that I am in no way an authority on English Grammar. I am, however, quite proficient in the language and I am embarrassed that so many other native English speakers are not. While I have too many pet peeves to name, as it relates to proper Grammar, allow me to elaborate on my Top 4:

1) "Ain't" is not a word. Tell me what it is a contraction for and maybe we can talk....but you can't, so we won't.
2) "Buck" is not another word for how much you paid for your last helping of fried chicken. Rather, it is a four-legged animal. Please do not confuse the two.
3) If you are approaching 30 years of age and you still cannot properly differentiate their/there/they're, to/too, or your/you're, you do not pass go and you need to return to 3rd grade.
4) "Grand" is an adjective, not the amount of money you paid for your last car. Incidentally, if I only paid $1000 for my last car, I would not go around bragging about it to people.

If you require further clarification on any of the aforementioned topic points, please consult "English for Dummies", which can be found at most major book stores.
