Have you ever called out someone’s incorrect grammar in a Facebook comment? Do you carry around a Sharpie, so you can correct street flyers? Do your eyes automatically roll when someone who you know is smart still mixes up “their, they’re, there”? If so, come sit next to us and enjoy these grammar memes.
