Heard a minute ago on TV: "[So-and-so] was sentenced to a sentence of 25 years to life..."
A hawfinch using the metric system = a centimetre.
I haven't commented on this thread for a while because I stopped following my sister-in-law on fb and ran out of cringe-worthy postings.
This is from another of my in-laws. A teenage boy...

Oh lord....lol Grammar Nazi. The last time I was on FB someone posted in a group and misspelled a couple of words. Well this guy replied to her post ragging on her about the words she misspelled. She actually apologizes to this dink and corrects the spelling! This is one of a few reasons why I hate FB. I posted to the guy, "Who the h*ll are you? A FB grammar and spellcheck troll? The woman was nice enough to thank me. I have to admit I hate when people screw up their homonyms but it certainly isn't my job to correct them.
What's a "homonym"? As for Facebook (to which I assume you refer as "FB") I post objections there to the chronic violence against the English language routinely posted in memes. It's amazing that nearly all memes fail grammatically.

I rarely correct others. It seems as soon as I correct someone, or tease or rag them, I pull a grammar or spelling faux pas worse than theirs. Being a Grammar Nazi creates Grammar Karma.
Yes! That's happens, but it's a good thing. We all need to be corrected.
I love these posts. Please re-follow your sister-in-law. I miss her grammatical horrors.
Profetic = Priceless.
Here's a good one:
Pennsylvania's governor is Tom Wolf. Earlier, a newscaster referred to the governor and his wife as "the Wolves" instead of "the Wolfs".
It's still bothering me.
