Kyle brought up a good point on FB last week. Well, I know he brings up MANY good points but this one is something that bugs me too.
The WA community is such a diverse place and for many, English is your second language. Kyle stated (and he’s right) that many second language speakers are far better at speaking English than us native English speaking people. Now, that’s sad.
Perhaps we weren’t taught the right way. Perhaps we get lazy. As most of us know, texting has brought about a whole NEW way of speaking. It’s a language in of itself.
However, when you are writing content that will span many generations as well as many countries, you should try to use words correctly. It helps you gain authority. It also helps others learn the English language properly.
English can be very confusing. I want to help. I wrote a blog last year but I thought I’d expand on it now with this training. So, (even this is wrong but I’m not going this deep). Buckle your seatbelts and let’s Ninja up to the tip of the iceberg and clarify a few words that bug me the most when I’m reading blogs.
Luckily I had Grammarly before Howard suggested.
The funny thing is Grammarly thinks 'than' might be incorrect.
