The Grammar Nazis Will Get You

The Grammar Nazis Will Get You By Elton Camp The grammar police are on patrol Writings they seldom will extol For how can they possibly commend A preposition at a sentence’s end Your write they have so much hated For it violated a rule now antiquated Should a comma be put out of place They react as if it’s a major disgrace If a spelling error you should make, It’s, “Oh my, for goodness sake!” To show their victims that you care, Comfort with, “There, they’re, their.”

Hey Joseph, Yes, I see that one too. "It's" v. "its" is often wrong as is "fewer" v. "less." On a church sign here I once saw, "Except Jesus or Die." Elton
