your honor, i have prosecution evidence number one, but before i disclose the evidence, i need all minors to leave the room and anyone who is embarrassed for exposure…

And then there’s the possessive “your” used for “you are” or “you’re”. Too bad nuns couldn’t teach everybody.
Ebonics be the way folk. Like the branch of “Toy’s Are Us” opening up as “We be Toy’s”.
And ,of course, forget plurals.

I wonder if he will lose his shirt on the attorny by moving to a new location?
Loose to Lose is catching up with their to they’re to there.
I consider the loose/lose confusion far more annoying than they’re/there/their.
Neither is quite as bad as not knowing the difference between to, too, and two.

Youngin, you got it so right (with tongue planted firmly in cheek, I might add)! BAM!!
Key stroke error. My apologies it is annoying. I know the difference. However, I bet you the girls there have loose shirts.
To redeem myself two of the annoying stylistic/grammar errors I hate:
Flammable – the correct word is inflammable. Flammable, contrary to the manufacturers of safety signs, is not a word.
Impact – the correct word is affect. Impact is a collision that causes damage.

so i think you need to research your dictionary!
Your dictionary uses slang I see.
Stunk& White: Elements of grammar is solid.
I stand by my comment and take repsonsibility for my error.
From your dictionary…
So it was invented for “children and illiterates” Strunk&White: Elements of style.
well, i tried to copy and paste fm dictionary.com… it looked good prior to sending, did not realize it would look like that… i was pointing out the words u were talking about are valid, like flammable and impact…

You are losing it! hahahahaha
