There's a Sprocket in my Pocket: grammar gripes #1

about me

If you want to know everything about me, TOUGH LUCK. I’ll just give you little bits about me. I have two dogs whose names are confidential, but if you ask nicely I’ll tell you that their names are really Gus and Fiona. I also have two horses whose names are Rolo, the pony, and Rosalie, the horse. I have three older sisters, who will be called Madam of the Chocolate Cake (or MCC for short), Ponyta, and the Lobster from now on. I live somewhere in the U.S. I like to listen to Weird Al Yancovic CDs. And oh, did I mention I was 11 years old (nearing 12 years old) and in high school?… JUST KIDDING, even though I am doing Algebra 1 now (it’s amazing what you can do when you’re home schooled). I LOVE books. In college basketball I love the UNC Tar Heels, in a basketball game it could be Duke (BOOOOO!) vs. Wake Forest and I would still say GO HEELS!!!! If a pool is open on a hot summer day, you know where to find me. In a game of poker I’ll see your Arsenic and raise you an Einsteinium (not so much for the poker but for the base of all things on this earth A.K.A. the Periodic Table of the Elements). I am two-time state Bible Drill champion. Give me enough time and I could name all the Pokemon ever drawn. You want a cookie? Just give me the recipe and ingredients and I’ll have them baked and ready within one hour. And that is all I am going to tell you about me

grammar gripes #1

Today, I am starting a series of posts about grammar mistakes that drive me nuts. First mistake on the agenda, ending your sentences with "at". When people say "Where are you at?" not only do they waste their breath, they also kill the english language. Another thing that ending sentences with at does is make the person sound stupid. That's all for now.
