LOL > > Subject- grammar mistakes > Verb- simple > > Sentence. So he was right. In informal language, we are all at liberty to use sentence fragments, so I don’t think it was a problem to begin with. But since we’re trying to be pedantic… “Simple” is NOT a verb. In this case, it is an adjective, along with “grammar”. Both modify “mistakes”. What kinds of mistakes? Simple mistakes. What kinds of mistakes (pt 2)? Grammar mistakes. [edit]The subject is missing (understood to be “I”, but not in a grammatically correct way), and the predicate is incomplete without a verb. Therefore, not a sentence. This is particularly true in Q&A formats. If we expect full sentences, the dialog would have gone: “What are you afraid of?” “I am afraid of simple grammar mistakes.” Now there’s a subject and a predicate, but… yeah… you see that it’s totally unecessary. ---

[quote=“dingo54,post:19,topic:51332”] WAS an English teacher in a past career (though they say “once a teacher, always a teacher”). I’m now a software developer. There’s definitely a time and place for formal rules. But there are also good times to ditch formality. I would think that an internet forum would be one of them! That said, I think what Links is really more concerned with smaller-scale problems… like using “you’re” when you should be using “your”.
