I'm aware of it, and I'm constantly looking for a college class that I can take for free that will help me out in this area. My problem is that I can write a competent sentence and use the correct punctuation, but I couldn't tell you WHY it's okay or even dream of diagramming a sentence. I'm sure I fail miserably all the time, but at least now I have editors who fix that problem for me in my more important, uh, venues.

(Which was so very important in my life that I don't even remember what the hashtag was.) I just figured everyone was making up their own, so I did too! Ha! What a hashtag newbie I am. Oh well...<br /><br />I did know that you could click on them and see a million other posts if other people had used the same hashtag though.<br /><br />Also, yes, grammar. Ugh. (Sorry, just thinking about really bad grammar renders me speechless.)<br /><br />My one exception to correcting the bad grammar of kids is when it's your own child and their misuse of grammar is too cute to correct. For instance, Rachel always asks, "Please, I can have more ______?" I hope she is still saying that in her super-sweet voice when she's sixteen. "Please, I can borrow the car tonight, Mommy???"<br /><br />Also, I'm always really nervous to publish a comment on your blog, especially one about grammar, because I feel like it might have fifteen grammatical errors and that would be too embarrassing!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350800415772519653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-3748446398634143662014-06-07T14:54:13.090-04:002014-06-07T14:54:13.090-04:00Haha.

And i hate the random #pretty #eyes #lips ones. Makes no sense! I mostly use them the way they were intended, like ones i will actually click on. <br /><br />I'm with you - i definitely never correct anyone if they speak in bad grammar! And i don't think i ever have on FB or anything either... except posting pictures of examples of bad grammar ("employee's only") & i hope the people who don't care will see and see how ridiculous it looks. But i guess if they don't care, they will just keep scrolling! Haha. One thing that i really hate is words being misspelled... or their/theyre/there or lose/loose. I may or may not have corrected those, but i try to do it in a humorous way.

Totally the bane of my existence! I feel like I could become a super millionaire by solving this... I tried the Furminator, and it does help (a little), but really I'm at the mercy of whatever season it is. The funny thing is that I have a Golden Retriever, so most people assume he is the shedder, but really it's my other dog (Jack Russell/English Pointer mix, we think) who is the real culprit. Short white hairs on EVERYTHING. I can't take it! I'm impressed that you vacuum several times per week... I can barely commit to once a week, so by Saturday it's just hairball city all over the hardwood. If I have guests during the week I just dry mop it quickly. And don't even get me started on my car. Let's invent something to solve this! I'm telling you, we'd strike gold!<br /><br />Whenever it's inappropriate to correct someone's written grammar, I pacify my disdain by sending it around to my little group of "grammar buddies" - people who care and who can laugh about it with me. Sure, we aren't helping to solve the problem, but at least we can commiserate with one another. Maybe it isn't nice to talk behind other people's backs like that... but... oh well. You do what you can.Deedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386061097583007160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-35870617082446936362014-06-06T16:17:38.899-04:002014-06-06T16:17:38.899-04:00#Ilovegrammar#IlovegrammarNikki Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296590282513086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-21157423748544414412014-06-06T15:59:21.288-04:002014-06-06T15:59:21.288-04:00I can spend hours getting lost in hashtag land!

Glad I could introduce you to #labsofinstagram, it is pretty much the best ever :) And thank you for answering my question! I too agree having Remi and Moose far outweigh the hair issues in my house.

I've done one hashtag ever and it was soley because our marketing department at work asked me to add it to my instagram post. I didn't realize that's what it did! Hilarious! However, I will now be waiting anxiously for the next #labsofinstagram.

I'm just saying. #momlies <br /><br />Hashtags are kind of new for me. I had NO idea what they were and why people kept putting a pound sign in front of random words for the longest time until I started using Instagram. I try not to use them too much because they can get annoying...and quite frankly, I'm just not cool enough to use them regularly. But you know my favorite thing about them? Jimmy Fallon's hashtag skit with JT -- love it! Please look for it on You Tube if you haven't seen it yet.<br /><br />Hope y'all have a great weekend! #TGIF<br /><br />Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504919719560440470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-53741267137709822552014-06-06T11:43:49.021-04:002014-06-06T11:43:49.021-04:00Ha!!

I do have instagram but I only have my sisters and step-kids on there so I don't use it very much. Obviously, the step-kids to keep up with what they are doing and my family just because. What annoys me is when it is used over and over on TV for something. On the other topic, I am terrible with grammar so I can't say much there.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738442092989090297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-66199493379146134202014-06-06T10:43:13.070-04:002014-06-06T10:43:13.070-04:00My favorite hashtags are from those people who use...My favorite hashtags are from those people who use them to "secretly" tell us how they really feel.
