I have seen this particular error becoming common. When an error, even as a typo, occurs on FR, it is often taken up as some sort of trendy thing that it is cool to copy. Either that or the familiarity with grammar and spelling is so woeful that people see an error and think, oh, that’s how to say it! The problem is that grammar has not been taught in the public schools for several generations. The existence of grammar rules is deemed offensive to the primary Democrat voting base and had to end. Unfortunately most people still don’t think enough of their children to homeschool.
I’m 75 years old. I went to catholic grammar school and was taught by nuns. I also went to a good strict public high school. I got what would be considered a good education. I never could and still don’t understand grammar. Not because I am dumb but because I simply don’t get it. Never have and probably never will. I am just trying to stick up for people like me. I am not trying to defend todays poor educational system. But I do agree with you on the homeschooling. Buy the weigh I did not have to use spillchuck to send this.
