And here I thought I was the only twit who adored grammar! Either its correct use, its correct misuse, or its general FUBARness!

What's the worst grammar faux pas you recall in recent memory? Unfortunately, my worst grammar faux pas was my own. Which isn't as unusual as I'd wish it to be.

"She took and poured the milk all over his body from the refridgerator."

Considering that I wrote this in another Tango story and she'd just killed a guy, well, it sounded really bad. Really really really bad.

I'm just kidding myself here. You guys aren't enamored of grammar are you. *sigh* I'm the weird one again. You have to be KillerHarold and I'll be Weird Muffin.
 
I love Grammer Fauxpas

Irregardless Ms. Muffin, ain't no reason to fret about pouring milk over his body unless it was soured. I onced poured coolaid all over this chick's body that had no clothes on.

When I growed up, I started thinking about written sex stories for a hobby. Fact is, I got one needs fixen when you got time. But I think that you should capitolize Grammar Fauxpas even if she was a bad person.
 
Read it again, sweets. It wasn't the pouring the milk all over his body that's the problem. It's the fact that his body was from the refridgerator that was the problem. Men generally don't keep themselves in fridges. It shrivels things.
 
I know, but....

the whole thing was meant to tongue-in-cheek. The point is, Muffin, I am waiting for your backlog to dwindle so I can send you the next story. ...so much for my weak attempts at humor and subtleties.

*big ol' smile*

What sets me giggling and guffawing is more vocabulary errors than grammar errors.

The image of people "shuttering" instead of shuddering, or a very sexy lady who has a "taunt" body. (The latter was not an intentional pun BTW.)

My first thought of how to correct Whispersecret's example on the other thread would have been a humorous image:

Walking towards me, her tits jiggled.

("She walked towards me, her tits jiggling," would definitely be better.)
