thanks for you’re free grammers lesson
It is spelt “grammar” my god sir.
Really?
You think? You forgot to correct VIP651 on his or her use of the word you’re as well …
Wait .. maybe it was intentionally written that way …
Acctually it was suposed to be written that way, and if you look you should see 4 errors in my first comment.
You are all and idiots.
“and idiots”? Are you shure we are the idiots?
SHURE???? I am SURE.
More like, YOUR THE IDOITS!
BTW, that was a joke, no offense intended.
HEY! no communts in this forum without languages errors!
yalls r all dumbells.
they also forgot to include “ur” I a gigantic bubble that is not even close to overlapping any of the current bubles
He’s not god.
It is not SPELLED ‘spelt’ either!
obvious troll is obvious ._.
English isn’t my native language but even I know the difference. I have no idea how so many people can be so dumb. (oh well on facebook maybe, I guess)
i think it’s actually the english native speakers who can’t get it right. us non-natives get it taught from day 1 so the question which one is which never even arises.
Most people whose native language is English (pardon if my grammar is off) tend to use incorrect grammar and spelling, while most people whose native language is NOT English tend to do just the opposite.
Ah, strange how that works, huh?
Completely incorrect usage of Venn Diagram
Venn Diagram for Funny, not learning >:O
What are you talking about, the union of “your” and “you’re” (meaning when they are together) is the frequency of correct usage on Facebook… it’s quite obvious…
That would be an intersection, not a union. Furthermore it would not make it any more sensible to use a Venn diagram to illustrate this. Saying that the intersection of the usage of the usage of these 2 words is a frequency just doesn’t make sense. You sir, are the true idiot.
You’re correct. Pedantic, anal and priggish, but correct.
this guy is an idiot. he supposed to use an exaple of you’re, but useses you are. You’re an idiot
Buy You fail as correct use too. Uses not Useses
And I failed at spelling:
But You fail at correct use too. Uses not Useses
:facedesk:
facedesk. lol.
:facehammer:
facekick
Face…f**k?
Perverts unite!
Sorry, I’ll just go sit down now…

He may know his grammar, but he certainly doesn’t know his Venn diagrams.

Note: your note is riddled with mistakes.
You know how jokes aren’t funny when you have to explain them? Yeah.
Grammar Nazi
And proud; People who use grammar correctly hate it when others don’t.
Most people who use grammar correctly don’t have a compulsion to correct everyone around them. That’s what makes you a Grammar Nazi and a pretentious asshole.
that’s the thing, though, isn’t it? people who know how to use grammar correctly get real annoyed if other people ignore the rules. they get the compulsion to correct everyone.
people who call others grammar nazis do so only because they can’t get their grammar right and thus feel inferior. tough bananas, danzig.
and yeah, i know, it’s “realLY annoyed”.
i luv you
there are several grammar mistakes in this diagram
your/you’re
there/their/they’re
its/it’s
mixing these up… such a freakin’ pet peeve of mine.
What about where/ware/wear or people who say ill when they mean I’ll, or were when they mean we’re?
Yeah, those are pretty damn annoying.
One of my favorites is “definately.” They are definitely wrong (on whatever inane thought they’re so sure of) if they can’t even spell out their confidence.
or people who type maby instead of maybe
Your comment + wizpip’s comment = My MAJOR pet peeve. I mean, my little brother (7) asks for help, then uses the words correctly, therefore he’ll use them correctly later in life, and not mix them up. I mean, really people. It’s NOT THAT HARD to use correct grammar. (By the way, I can pretty much guarantee I am younger than y’all.)
Oh, add in Points Giver’s as well, and double negatives.

(This graph, however, sucks. It doesn’t even come close to beginning to make sense.)
Say what you want about the incorrect Venn diagram, newsdude placed the plural apostrophe in the right place, which makes him OK in my book.
I agree. I give him a pass on the English
and a fail on the graphic component.
…wow, he actually did.
Yeah. We can’t expect him to be a genius in ALL areas, so I’ll give him a pass for the Venn diagram. He’s hardly the worst offender on this site.
you missed a quotation mark, nice fail
grammar + internet = grammar nazi = another fail
I feel I must male a correction to your post.
*BAD* grammar + internet = grammar nazi heaven.
you’re spaling of make is rong. your a illaterate
I want to give whoever made this graph a big hug.
I don’t understand what’s so hard about that. I’ll admit I’m not the best at grammar, I’m more of a math and science person. I’m not 100% positive of when you’re supposed to use whom and not who (“with whom are you going”, maybe??), but come on. If you can’t figure out that you+are=you’re, I hope to God you can either sing or clean toilets really, really well because your brain is just useless.
seconded
Whom is mostly just used when it is the object of a preposition. In your example, ‘to whom’, ‘to’ is the preposition and ‘whom’ is used correctly.
Basically, ‘whom’ is used like ‘me’ or ‘her’ as opposed to ‘who’ being used like ‘I’ or ‘she’.
But some people get that mixed up too. ‘It’s me’ is wrong, since me is the subject not an object.
“It” is the subject. “It’s me” is correct.

I only have one friend, you insensitive clod!

If I didn’t know better, I’d swear I made this. Saw a pic somewhere of a moronic douchebag with a huge tattoo on his back that read, “Live Like Your Dieing”. So, aside from the horrendous grammar/spelling,…is he advising me to spend all day in bed while heavily medicated? I really don’t get it.
well, aside from death by grammar, we are all “dying”…
I don’t understand why people care. As long as I can easily understand what someone is saying I’m not going to pull them up on stray punctuation on something as casual as Facebook.
Communication requires a bit of effort. One side needs to express thoughts; the other needs to listen/read. Both need to make some effort. Otherwise, we do not have communication. You may be able to easily decipher what these kids intended to mean, but requiring that the reader should make up for the writer’s laziness fundamentally undermines the possibility of earnest communication. You are no kind of man (or woman) if you can’t say what you mean and mean what you say.
You give a point, Point Giver! But there’s nothing that bad about accidentally spelling a word wrong, like your or you’re. s jus lazy wen u disyd 2 rit lik dis.
Also, doesn’t anyone find it in the least bit ironic that bad vocab gets pointed out so often on a network where people comment predominantly in Kitty Pidgin.
i don’t think that he meant accidental spelling mistakes, though. it’s when someone consistently can’t get it right. and i agree with point giver.
newsdude wins the Game for this.
Sorry everyone else.
crap i lost the game
THE GAME IS OVER! I’VE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN TWO EYES! Being a 4Chanian, I saw the post that proved The Game was over (If this post ends in doubles, The Game is over. Post ends in: 22, 44, 11, 22.)
As much as I appreciate someone taking yet another opportunity to *try* to teach the world correct English, I can’t help but be disappointed at the fail of the graph itself.
I was always much more English-y than maths-y but I still know how a Venn diagram is supposed to work.
god forbid anyone make typos
God forbid you begin your sentence without a capital letter or end it without a full stop. Yes a full stop. Unless you’re on the rag it’s a full stop, not a period.
it’s not about typos.
Y-O-U-R…
Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E…
They’re as different as night and day…
Don’t you think that night and day are different…
What’s wrong with you…
Who cares?
People who are all anal about crap like this got that way from getting the crap kicked out of them by the more popular kids throughout middle school and high school.
See the really cool thing is that we get to kick the crap out of the “popular” kids for the rest of our lives. Better education, better jobs, more money (on average) and a better appreciation of many things — the distinction between your and you’re being just one of many. They get equally ignorant kids, crappy bosses, and Bud Light.
Unpopularity in school FTW.
You, mister or miss, win The Game, as does the maker of this graph. (And Chuck Norris)
Overplayed, and really, accept/except is worse since they’re freaking spelt differently (like, way more differently than your/you’re) and they’re also pronounced a bit differently.
Are/our too.
anybody want to comment on the incorrect use of venn diagram?
self-proclaimed grammar nazi, and real-life English teacher…reading all these posts AND all the errors even in the “correction” posts is making sparks and smoke come out of my ears… and since no one has said it yet, “spelt” is a kind of grain, no the past tense of the verb “spell” (spelled)
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spelt
It is a variant. Maybe not used where you live, or nearly as common, but acceptable.
Big pet peeve of mine here – thanks for sharing!
I find it hilarious that I have never done this mistake of mixing your with you’re and I’m Danish!! But apparently it’s a huge problem in English-speaking countries. You should pay more attention in school
that’s how we learned it!
Understanding a Venn digram fail. I can’t believe this crap made the front page, the graph makes no sense.
My favourite is “roll” when someone means “role”. I get introductions that say “my roll at the company is…” I reply with something like “My roll at the company is a bagel, toasted, no butter. I’m not sure how that jives with your roll, but get back to me when you figure out something that makes sense.” Fortunately they rarely reply.
There would be no such thing as a grammar nazi if correct grammar was widely used. I just find it amusing that people are being called something intended to be mildly offensive just because they aren’t idiots and would appreciate a world not filled with idiots and therefore are kindly trying to educate the idiots, thus hopefully curing them of their idiocy.
This graph amused me because although misused (sort of) it was for amusement purposes. it’s not like it is going to be published in New Scientist or anything. Everyone should just chill and maybe proof-read what they write if they don’t want to sound stupid.
It always baffled me that so many native speakers of English don’t even really know their mother tongue (which, by the way, is one of the simplest languages in the world), while most of the non-native speakers have a good grasp of English.
Grammar Nazis beware. In 50 years all the Facebook “grammatical errors” will be correct English. Read some old English and see how we have messed it all up. Don’t know if this is true or not but.
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
–James D. Nicoll
Where have you been all my life?!?!? I’m in that miniscule area where I know the difference between “your” and “you’re”. So please LEARN THE DIFFERENCE, PEOPLE! It’s literally sickening to me. My gosh.
P.S. I dare you to find one grammatical mistake in this message.
“My gosh.”
I don’t see a verb. It is not a proper sentence.
You see a lot of this on the Steam forums. “Their the worst players.” “Your rediculous.”
Supar w1n.
This is the first graph I’ve ever favorited, I think.
what’s ironic is that you have no idea how a venn diagram works and you’re picking on people based on their usage of your and you’re
