[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2191, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/may/19/grammar-correct-language'][B]Mind your language: is it ever OK to correct someone's grammar? The Guardian[/B][/URL] [B] If you find yourself doing it, consider this: are you genuinely attempting to help, or just trying to gain the upper hand? [/B] After Sunday’s episode of reality TV drama 90 Day Fiancé, people were left with an important question: is it ever OK to correct someone’s grammar? The show follows long-distance couples in a pressure cooker: when the foreign lovers of American citizens move to the US, with just 90 days to decide whether to get married before their visas run out. Sunday’s episode saw couple Stephanie Matto and Erika Owens hash out what went wrong in their failed relationship, and some viewers suggested that a screenshot showing an exchange between them might sum their problems up. “I’m so sad about this,” Owens texts Matto, seen in a WhatsApp chat. Then she adds: “I feel so lead on.” “*Led,” responds Matto. Ouch. [/QUOTE]
