I always watch my Grammar on FR.
The Usageasters lurk not very far.
Syntax and Spelling
Are very telling
To describe the type of person that you are.

Obama’s numbers are sinking faster
After the “You didn’t build that!” disaster

All of his lackeys and all of his toads
Claim “that’s” antecedent is “bridges and roads”

He should have said “those,” says this usageaster
Or is English a language he cannot master?

Obama thinks that all our swimmers are cool
But reminds them that someone else filled up the pool

Milo says usageaster just means them flatlanders back east where the women have more hair on their faces then the pouting boys don’t like the way us hill folk talk.

I must confess that I’m a usageaster because the improper use of the apostrophe that I observe all the time really grates on me. The misplaced apostrophe is rampant on FreeRepublic, but neither of my highly educated sons seem to get it, either. I’ve learned not to correct them, however, or they’ll stop writing to me.
