    I get really annoyed with consistent grammar mistakes (by adults). Everyone slips up sometimes, but I really feel that if my 8-year old, who just finished 2nd grade, knows the difference between there, their, and they're than an adult, who presumably has more than a 2nd grade education, should be able to use them correctly as well.

    << LP BONUS PUZZLE!!!

    Can you find all five of the grammatical errors in this post?

    <<My friends told me there where alot of mean people here but I did nit believe him, being Disney lovers and all.>>>>

    The grammatical errors that I found are:

    1. where instead of were
    2. did nit instead of did not or didn't
    3. there should be a comma after but
    4. alot should be two words (a lot)
    5. he used friends in the plural and then referred a second time to those friends as "him," which is singular
    6. the way that he used his pronouns makes the "being Disney fans and all" refer to "him", which would not be correct even if that was who he was referring to because of the plural/singular issue.
