Irritating

October 25, 2011 by Imaan No Comments

I’m not the Grammar Gestapo, but there are a few phrases that are commonly used today that annoy me to no end.

They include:

  • “Irregardless”… it is NOT an informal word. It is a nonsensical word!
  • “I could care less”… really, you COULDN’T. Trust me.
  • “Between you and I” … no, no, NO!!!
  • “Your welcome” … MY welcome!? MY welcome?!!!!
  • “OMG”

A lady I know borrowed her husband’s cell phone to send a text message. She asked an officer at an educational institute about certain classes. Some time later, her husband handed her the phone. Looking perplexed, he shook his head and said, “Is this the message you were expecting? I have no idea what this person is trying to say.”

The exchange was as follows:

“As salaamu `alaykum! This is *lady’s name* – I’m using my husband’s phone as I’ve lost my SIM. We’ve just returned from our vacation. I’d appreciate it if you could let me know when we can resume classes. I hope that you are fine!”

“ws. im f9 gr8 v cn strt cls iA on thu.” *

Textese… the scourge of humanity.

English Banana.com - 750+ Free Printable Worksheets for Better English Lessons...

It’s a funny name, but this isn’t a site to be taken lightly :) English Banana provides loads of free English resources. Those of you who are looking for a free grammar programme for elementary students can use English Banana’s Big Grammar Book.

It’s jam-packed from cover to cover with a great selection of photocopiable worksheets taken from the popular English Banana.com website. We wanted to provide teachers with a really useful book of no-nonsense grammar worksheets that they can dip into and use in class with students at ESOL Core Curriculum Entry Levels 1 & 2 [Elementary Level]. It is also ideal for students to work with at home since the answers are all printed at the back.

The book is divided into four parts and is graded in difficulty, so that it begins with some basic stuff and builds up to more challenging grammar activities. It features a selection of Essential English worksheets which provide practice for crucial basic areas of knowledge for learners at Entry Level, like using numbers, writing the alphabet, spelling days and months correctly, and so on.

Did I mention it is FREE? :P

Download the Big Grammar Book here or here.

OK, I am finally feeling dead on my feet… I guess the Panadol Extra’s worn off. I’m off to catch some sleep before the kids wake up.
