I am appalled at how many times I have seen topics that include the words "recommend me". For those people, please review your grammar 101 textbooks. Try "Please recommend a ? to me." The ? is whatever recommendation you are asking for.

While still on my soapbox, can we please stop using the following incorrect grammar: "I seen him last night" or "I seen him at school yesterday". The correct verbiage is "I SAW him" and not I seen him.

Does it matter? I have been a college instructor and hiring manager. Your level of intelligence and ability to communicate clearly are diminished in mine and similar eyes when ever we read or hear you say these words. I know of a few instances where an applicant was not hired based on the misuse of these sentences alone.

That?s all. I am now off my soapbox.

Glad I dont work for your ass.

:roll:

Somehow I think the feeling is reciprocated.

Will you add the use of "I" vs. "me", please? "If you have any questions, call Mike or I" is not correct. "Leave it with Mike or I" isn't correct either. And there's the age old "there" vs. "their" vs. "they're".

Don't forget "then" and "than"

Shouldn't it be:
"Please stop, it hurts."?

Although I agree with most people here, generally this type of thing is important for a first impression. I could easily understand someone not getting a job due to retarded grammar like "I seen" I absolutely despise that.

I also don't think it was an accident for him to mis-spell grammar in the summary, it was clearly spelled correctly more than once within the subject body, and no edits to the post.

Anyways

 

This is an internet forum, who cares about grammar?

That's not the worst of it.
People using then and than interchangable is just laughably stupid. There are so many examples of plain stupididty, when it's not even down to laziness, just stupidity. a != e.

Agreed. That one bugs me the most.
I made a thread about it a few years ago.

when you say, "please stop it hurts" - you intentionally left out the comma to be ironic, right? nice!

No, he left out a semi-colon or period. Those are two complete thoughts that need to be separated by one of the two.

The biggest grammar error that people make is starting a sentence with so when they should not. And it is the supposedly educated people who do this all the time too.
