Grammar Rules (To Avoid)

Happy Tuesday everyone! I will never forget the day when I was walking to the post office to mail off some stuff before work when a very chipper guy selling newspapers said, "Happy Tuesday! Almost the the weekend!" And I thought, are you kidding? We're no where near the weekend! Unless you count the past weekend. Anyways. Happy Tuesday! Almost halfway through the week!

I found this list on the Pioneer Woman's Homeschooling section and while ago, and I felt that I must share.

 Grammar Rules (To Avoid)

1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
2. Remember to never split an infinitive.
3. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
4. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
5. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others elude to them.
6. Use the apostrophe in it’s proper place and omit it when its not needed.
7. Eliminate unnecessary references. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “I hate quotations.”
8. Who needs rhetorical questions?
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

I'm going to ignore numbers 3, 8 and 9. I'm constantly using parentheses, rhetorical questions and exaggerations. And you can't make me stop!

Anyways.

Enjoy your Tuesday and use proper grammar!
