Grammer iz gud
U no wot really killz me? Ppl who use bad grammer.

Seriously, one of my major pet peeves is bad spelling, grammar and the like. So let's review with a little quiz:

Match the words to the appropriate context.

a. Jase and Scott are total jerks. ______ assholes.
b. Will and Karen put _____ bathing suits on for the challenge.
c. Marvin is over _____.

1. there
2. they're
3. their

These, among other grammar mishaps, really get my goat. That ends today's lesson, but coming soon, the appropriate use of "affect" and "effect", as well as the lost art of the semicolon.

P.S. Answers:
a-2; b-3; c-1
