Learn From Other People's Mistakes

There is a saying that goes " A wise man learns from his mistakes and an even wiser man learns from other people's mistakes".  There is also some quote somewhere that the price for knowing  proper  grammar is hearing people who don't.   Yet another saying that goes when life sends you lemons , make lemonade. Well since you are visiting this blog I assume you want  to learn proper grammar I am giving you that opportunity to learn it from other people's mistakes.  I promise you I did not get this list from students but from people who profess to be better than students. Identifying some of the mistakes will just tire me, so please contact me directly if any of these gaffes pique your interest. A lot of them are subject/ verb agreement and preposition mistakes. An excellent reference for preposition usage is here. I guarantee you that I will get enough ammunition for Vol.2
