5 Grammar Mistakes that Make You Sound Like a Chimp
If you obsess over every grammatical and structural point, you can come across as stiff.
But if you’re lax and make a bunch of simple errors, you’ll come across as stupid.

Lebron James used to say myself all the time in place of I or me. It used to drive me nuts and it's one of the first things that started me down the path of hating him. lol.
-
People that use should /would “of” instead of “ ‘ve “ !!
-
I hate how people put the word "basically" at the beginning of every sentence.

These rules are on the rigid side. There is a difference between what be wrong in a business letter versus everyday speech:
“An historic event” would look bad written but few people would flinch hearing it spoken that way. On the other hand, overuse of “myself” is a problem whether written or spoken.
-
“Between you and I” really bothers me but even English teachers say it that way these days.
-
And all the people who start sentences with "so"....
This came into vogue about 10 years ago...

I am confused, banana & coconuts palms don't grow in Sweden & so many Chimps now live there !.

When people say or write your instead of you're. >:(

I'm the same way. Sometimes I'll immediately stop them and say, "No, give me the advanced version."
-
When someone says the nonexistent word "irregardless". It's just "regardless". And remember "alright" is all wrong. There's no word "alright" just "all right".
-
The thing that makes me nuts isn't grammar but rather uptalk or upspeak. It's where the inflection goes up at the end of a sentence so everything they say sounds like a question.

How about those girls that "sing" their words trying to sound cute?

People that say "f*ck" all the time.

:D I'm going to use that.

If they made a book of these based on Dan18's posts it would have more pages than War and Peace.

I want to throw a dictionary at every black person that "axes" for something. It's ask.

hahaha "I axed him"... what the fuck is that about?
-
I can tolerate nearly all dialects with "valley girl" being one of the few exceptions.
For example a sentence should never start with "and, like" and a bunch of others.

Media constantly using the term "on steroids" has become 'chimpish". Just this morning on talk radio, within 5 minutes I heard one reporter say "Corona Virus is the flu on steroids", then a weather guy said "We got more rain in L.A. because it was like a "cold front on steroids".
These media people are getting paid obscene amounts of money to use the English language to convey things, and every fucking time something is large or excessive in any way, they fall back on this hack, tired fucking expression.

basically, chad is more a "basically" guy, basically. But that's a close one. Maybe 60/40 basically/literally. Which makes him literally a douche, basically.
