Greetings grammar grinches, and welcome to one of the early grammar cop websites. I started this project years ago while attending college in Iowa. I had about 25 sentences at the start and now around 90 I developed from misspellings I've seen all the way from blogs and online scrapbooks to regional newspapers, financial analysts, some very learned people, even the Associated Press! Hopefully, reviewing these sentences may give you enhanced awareness of their usage due to their context, which is exactly my point (Note though, a few carry accented pronunciations.) Extra points are earned if you get a chuckle, and even more if I made an error! If you found it helpful or like this, please tell others about this site.
