Correct Grammar Matters

RESOLVED IN 2017

Not to use any of the following conversational phrases or  constructions in speech:


. . . any time soon . . .

meaningless phrase that signifies no duration whatever

. . . in regards to . . .

wrong usage - should be regard  

That said . . . 

pointless overused transitional phrase which has virtually no meaning

. . . which I said that . . .

improper use of the relative pronoun 

. . . too big (of) a . . . 

unnecessary preposition

. . . be it . . . 

crude misuse of the participle  

I feel (like) . . . 

you don't feel like, you feel that

**********************************

Want to be stupid? Ungrammatical? 

No?

Then pay attention to what you say. Bad language is like a virus, which spreads as fast as the common cold, infecting each person who carelessly allows it to enter his/her speech. 

It takes some vigilance. You have to want to avoid bad habits. You have to believe in accuracy and clarity as goals of communication.

Good speech matters.
