My late wife was a great student. She graduated OSU with a 3.97 gpa and that was back when there was no such thing as getting an extra credit grade above 4.0.
She was a lot better with grammar than me but there were a couple of areas she almost always used incorrectly.
They were the lie, lay, sit, set, sat, type words.
Not according to the word people:
Merriam-Webster online dictionary definition of "lots"
Take whoever told you that with a grain of salt.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Piiing. I just HAD to misssspell it.
Any relation to Captain Obvious?
it’s and its. Another one that drives me nutso.
Your and you’re.
This is your vault.
I’m not an expert in grammar, but shouldn’t your sentence say that “She was a lot better with grammar than I” or “I am”?
The annoyers, that is the spellers of let’s, it’s instead of its, and so on, never click on threads like this one.
A recent arrival that grates on me, is the use of ‘nevermind’ instead of the correct, ‘never mind’.
The former is a 90s grunge band, while the latter is a common English phrase. Eric Erickson of Red State committed the error in his column today.
Or, alot.
That one drives me nuts.

When I first began posting to the internet, I exclusively used 'it's' when writing. One day a very decent and caring person took the time to correct my usage of the word. I'm still grateful to them for doing that.
I have no idea which is correct. I am able to communicate tho.
When I was young, I was a whiz in math but really weak in grammar.
Now as I am approaching 70, I can no longer do math in my head very well and have to have a calculator to add and subtract. I actually think my verbal skills have improved.
Who makes up these stupid rules??? I like phonix...
The apostrophe is there to warn you that the word will have a final "s". They must stres's that in the school's.
I have 2 that get to me. Foot and mouth disease and bald faced liar.
Wow! That reins—or reigns, or rains—supreme!
Viva La’s Vega’s!
I posted this last week, but it’s worthy of a rerun.
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
