Also, I don't look down on anyone who wasn't taught all the proper grammar - just sending out pointers for those who wish to improve. It only makes me frustrated when I see journalists make grammatical mistakes. They are supposed to know better.
Oh no.
This isn't so much a grammatical error as it is a misunderstanding of what he's saying. Here's why:
a while is a stretch of time (usually longer, rather than shorter). If you do something only once in that span of time, it means that it is a rare event. Therefore, the term is, "Every once in a while." (Some people must confuse the sound made by that spoken phrase as being "once 'n' a while.")
I love that song, but I have to sign over that part with the right word or I go nuts.
I never thought it was because of ignorance, but just slang, but now I realize it does make perfect sense when you consider it is short for mathematics.
The Shop
Came up in a moto-related thread title. He got it wrong.
"I would advise you to hit that jump in 3rd."
"He gave you good advice; I always jump that jump in 3rd gear, too."
Allusion is the act of hinting or making reference to something. If you are beating around the bush, someone might ask, "What are you alluding to?"
Elusion is the act of avoiding a pursuit or pursuers. If you steal a car and get away clean, you have eluded detection. If you outdrive the cops, who tried to chase you down, you have eluded the cops.
I think we need a loop of the first dozen or so, and see if it's working.
Not really grammar, but differences in meanings.

Try again.... OK boy, let's go boy "goddammit"!
Alright, get your ass in here... "ohfuckingshitgoddammit".
Sell that sumbitch.
It'll become crystal clear.
So Americans will say ''the data are in'' whereas as Brits would say ''the data is in''.
What's the deal?
Pit Row
I've noticed the opposite thing about companies. UK people usually say "Yamaha are releasing a new bike," meaning "all the people who work together as Yamaha." In the US we would say "Yamaha is releasing a new bike, because we consider Yamaha an entity of its own.
Or in hospital VS. in the hospital....
It just doesn't sound right to me.
Yes good point about Yamaha but both ways of saying it sound ok to me at least.
"Mike Alessi and Mike Brown attended the race among many other's despite the cold winter weather."
Oh dear.
It should be others. More than one other. No apostrophe needed. Remember from the second post in this thread that you never, ever, ever, add an apostrophe to make anything plural. Like, ever.
Love you guys, keep up the good work.
