What happens when the grammar police inevitably gets corrupted? šŸ¤” Is that where slang comes from? 😁 @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop @writingcommunity @writingbooks #LinguisticMemes #Meme #Linguistics #Language #Words #Humor #Humour #Funny#Reading #Readers #ReadingCommunity#Novel #Books #Fiction #Bookstodon

This combines several of my interests: women in uniform, proper grammar, and correcting other peoples' grammar.

@Gogs All right, against the wall. (later) Internal Affairs wants to speak to me about my use of fragments? Oh good, because I've been wanting to introduce them to a little thing called IDIOM. @NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop @writingcommunity @writingbooks

@NickEast_IndieWriter @linguistics @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop @writingcommunity @writingbooks "when the grammar police inevitably gets corrupted?""Police" is normally a plural noun, but "gets" is third person singular. Hence - oh damn, I just outed myself, didn't I?
