So long, and good night!

Hi everyone - this is Alex Hanna, Leslie's son. I'm sure by now you have all heard the news. If not, I want to apologize for sharing it in this way.  Yesterday afternoon (Dec. 25), our mother passed away. It was far more sudden than any of us expected. Her family is here, and we are so very grateful for all the support and love over the years.

As you all know, she placed an incredible value on her friends. You are all among her best friends, and for that, I want to share my thanks. She will be missed.

Stutter?

A quick glance would have caught this.

Saved their mother's ... what?

It should be "save their mother" or "save their mother's life".

A Phoenix family would like to find the Good Samaritan they say helped save their mother's. https://t.co/tM1G5El02G

Is there more than one?

"...have fled the Cuba..." Oh, NPR ...

More than 70,000 have fled the Cuba this year, fearing that policies might soon change. https://t.co/nkM1DIcgKo

Every Day vs Everyday

Something is an everyday occurrence, but you do something every day. You don't do something everyday. That's just wrong.

Basic Conjugation

They beat the Redskins, or they have beaten them. From the Grammarist: "got beat". This is incorrect grammatically, but is firmly established in slang, especially in North America." News agencies should not be using slang, or our society is doomed.

That's a ball game! The #Cowboys have beat the #Redskins 19-16. #MNF #DALvsWAS

Did you know the State of PA got hate mail (phone calls) for the license plate with the slogan "You've got a friend in Pennsylvania" because it's grammatically incorrect? By using "you've got", it should be "you've gotten". Or else they'd have to say "You have a friend in Pennsylvania". Either way, oops. They changed it back to Keystone State a few years later.
