Everywhere you go, bad grammar surrounds you. Quotation marks used for emphasis instead of for their actual purpose. Punctuation that is missing or so bad that you want to fix it on your own. Newspapers or magazines that have sentences so convoluted you have to twist your brain into a pretzel just to understand what the message actually is supposed to be. You know what we mean.
This blog is your outlet.
Here, we'll collect rotten grammar that makes the teacher in us want to grab a red pen and correct, correct, CORRECT!! We'll vent. And we expect you to help us do it.
You can send your examples of bad grammar to us via e-mail, and we'll post them right here on the blog. If you can get a picture of the offending sign, even better! Just drop us a line at Red.Inkwell@gmail.com. Help us help you get your grammar rage out of your system!
Disclosure: The Red Pen Wielders make no claims to have perfect grammar; however, they recognize bad grammar when they see it, and some of those mistakes out there are so grievous they deserve to be posted where all can see. Besides, maybe poor grammarians will learn a thing or two.
