Grammarian Suicide Imminent
06 09 25
If I see the word “your” used instead of “you’re” one more time, I think I might just shove a shotgun down my throat and blow my brains out. This isn’t hard folks:
- your
- belonging to you
- you’re
- contraction for you are
And don’t even get me started on all of you namby-pambies who use plural nouns with company names. A company is a singular noun. You wouldn’t say “the company are big,” so why are you saying “Honda are big.” Honda is big. See? Isn’t that nice?
Apparently it’s not just the blogosphere whose grammar lies in shambles, either. According to NBC News, Fortune 500 companies spend $3 billion annually teaching basic English.

I hope I am not one of your contacts who misuse the words.
