Sign in to disble this ad
I often leave the stated subject out of a sentence when posting on Facebook, etc.. Especially when typing from my phone. For instance instead of saying "I won a million bucks!". I might just say "Won a million bucks!" or instead of "I'm sick of hearing about horoscopes" it might just be "sick of hearing about horoscopes."
Well today I updated my status with an attempt to convey the though that I was very tired after my son's second birthday party. Without really thinking I left out the "I'm" at the beginning of the sentence and ended up with the following:
Pooped after our little birthday party for our little man. I think he's wiped out too.
When my wife informed me of my error I almost pooped from laughter.
By the time I was able to log back on I was already hit with comments such as "do you feel better?" and "TMI!"
Watch your grammar!!

My favorite response to grammar complaints is along the lines " yall know whut im talkin bout, i dosent has to sound smart.", or words to that effect.

I do agree with you. Sometimes poor grammar makes you wonder what is being expressed.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Wilkes-Barre, PA | | | Grammar is extremely important. One of my favorite examples is:
"Let's eat, Grandma!" vs "Let's eat Grandma!"
Simply forgetting a key punctuation mark makes all the different in the world, just like leaving out a subject! |

| | | | At our gig Saturday, the guitar said to me that the toilet was at the top of the stairs on the second floor to which I asked, "Isn't it in a separate room?"
Another one. When I go into a restroom and there is a sign stating "Employees Must Wash Hands", I always figure I am quite capable of washing my own hands and don't want to wait for an employee to wash them for me.

So... anyone that doesn't come armed with a dog has to use the stairs? What if you do own a dog but it's a St Bernard?
