In this article there is a lot of information that deals with so many different types of errors that some a lot of people would never think of. There are so many different kinds of rules in terms of usage and grammar that it is almost too overwhelming. We learn so many different and unique rules that I never would have ever thought of. The hard thing like he says is that some rules can get some people very upset at them while to others it is not a big deal to them at all. If every single person in the world spoke and wrote the most right way possible it would sound so weird to most people. Last year my college writing professor was like this and spoke in very proper English all the time during class and she even had some blog posts of her speaking like this. It was so different from the way I am used to hear people talk that it sounded like it was not very proper English to me. But actually it was so proper that it just seemed foreign to me. This is mainly because there are a very little amount of people who actually talked that way in their everyday life. I think that proper grammar is not as important in some things as in others. Obviously when talking to your friends the majority of people do not talk in the most proper English possible. But writing a paper or mainly a job resume, people should try to make it as proper as they possibly can because if their boss is a true grammar freak then their errors alone might keep them from getting that job.
