So I was driving to go hangout with some friends, and on the side of the road I saw a sign that said “got kid?” then under it said call xxx-xxx-xxxx for a tutoring service. I personally find it very funny that a tutoring company used improper grammar in an advertisement, and I really hope that they meant to do that.

I hate saying this, but saying, or typing, bad grammar is poor grammar…Bad refers to Behavior or something that is based off Opinion. Poor Grammar is the proper way of saying it. You wouldn’t say this tastes poor, but instead this tastes bad, due to it being based of of opinion. Poor refers to, not necessarily fact, but anything that is commonly accpeted to be true, or by convention. Sorry if I side tracked a little, just felt this needed to be said.

Beg to differ, you just proved my point. The first definition may agree, now…look at the other 13. I still have a valid point.

Haha! Classic redirection. :wink: Sure beats, “I guess you’re right.” And I should know… it’s a rare day I’ll admit to being wrong.
