I have been hearing about this on the radio. As university instructor I spend far too much time on basic grammar correction but my job is to educate. I guess that my English major is now paying off. (And yes, I know I ended the last sentence with a preposition.) Perhaps Weird Al can get the point across to some of my students.

That was great, I sent it to my daughter. It would be wasted on my son...

Yep. Cute. I for one would be thrilled if only people would learn the difference between selvage and salvage

Oh, I'm so happy that some people care about grammar. We were just talking about that very subject at our church quilting yesterday. I don't mind the extra time it takes to type a word and have it spelled correctly. It shows that you aren't a moron. Young people just can't spell in today's world and now I hear they are not being taught to write "cursive." They can only read printing. Oh dear Lord, please help us!!!!

So cute! sent it to my English PhD daughter who will love it. Thanks!

I am a pretty good speller, but a lousy typist. I get to typing so fast that I transpose numbers and letters as I type, you know you have a problem when you type a word so badly, that spellcheck says "I got nothing for this." Lol!

I definitely like Grammar and Weird Al. Thanks, it was funny. DH and I saw him live last year. He is great.

Loved it! Thanks for sharing. Sadly for us, foreigners have a better understanding of the English language than some of us. The music reminds me of Jimmy Fallon - what a hunk!
