"Things we say wrong"?
If this guy is going to criticize society en masse for its grammar, shouldn't he at least give his segment a grammatically correct title? Perhaps this is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to be cute. I don't know. I just didn't care for the condescending tone, even if I did agree with his central point that good grammar is becoming a lost art; however, I disagree with him on the point that verbal laziness is something to eschew. Is society going to collapse because people say "l'il" instead of "little"? I digress.
In closing, I don't think I'd like this guy very much if I met him on the street.
Serious Anonymous guy rocks! For serious though...my wife is a whole nother kind of nerd. That is too grammatical posts on our blog in the past month.
OK, for serious anonymous??? Lighten up! It's just a joke. And Gary, that would be "two" :-)
Oh, I am dead "for serious". I do not mess around when it comes to my grammar, nor do I mess around when it comes to grammar nerds and snobs. I will literally go toe-to-toe with you on grammar.

Serious Anonymous Guy, are you my brother? I had to ask.
I'll never tell.
Also, yes. I figured the horrible misuse of the word "literally" would be a dead giveaway. Alas, I was right.
That is literally what gave you away. I literally thought that you would never have posted so early in the morning,so that literally threw me off, but then I literally thought that no one else would hit on my pet peeve of the misuse of the word literally. I mean, literally!
