I just want to say, if I see anyone not using spell check around here, with a misspelling that I can identify at a glance, I'll be taking you to task. Your name is mud around these parts.
Nurses with better spelling than mine, on the other hand, are obviously anal retentive perfectionists. Or else they are using spell check, the great equalizer.
Obvious grammatical errors will be pointed out immediately. And, I expect you educated people to know that:
Error free grammar occasionally escapes me. Additionally, I am certainly not consistent with perfect spelling, but I try my best. However, when my Nurse Manager wrote a letter of recommendation for my Masters program of choice, even I noticed how horrid a job she had done; I had to throw the letter away and request a new one from someone else.
If nothing else, my Nurse Manager gave me the encouragement to go on to higher learning because if she could obtain her MSN degree with that level of atrocious spelling and grammar, by golly, so could I!
In other words, bless the folks for who can't spell or write right, because you never know when you'll be an inspiration for someone else. LOL!!
i'm in So. Cal (inland) and hear "finna" all the time. (Not trying to sound racist) I mainly hear it from people of African American decent, and many from the South use it (think LA, OK, TX, etc.). I use whom all the time, but I grew up with an english teacher as a parent.
My pet peeves are people confusing:
Their, there and they're
To and too
Click and clique
Your and you're
Which and witch
and many other words that sound the same but have different spellings for different meanings. When people use the wrong combination of spelling and definition it is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I cringe when I come across the spelling mistake, but would never correct a poster about it.
I have NEVER heard finna before. Maybe it's short for "finally"? I've lived all over NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, spent a few years in Jersey, never heard it. It sounds really weird when I try to say it
Your mean. Plz advice me on hows to talk in good english. Can I have you're advise??
My mean teechur's dun give me bad grade's in phynatomy and anasteziology, what nursing school's should to go too? I no them teechur's was just picking on me. Nursing is my DREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM. Me can still go two nursing school, yes.
Whenever I left Peerson View, i done did the 1,000,000% akurit PVT, is this the good popup? Its definately write.
Okay, this took me at least 10 times as long to write as it would have had I used proper English. Yikes.
And yet, I've lived in the Sunshine State all my life and never heard "finna". I agree that it does sound odd!
One of my pet grammar peeves . . . "This is her". Some of us must have had English teachers as a parent! My mom would return my letters (pre-computer) with her red markings all over them. (And then she wanted to know why I was wasting money calling her all the time?) Now, however, I'm thankful she did.

Even teachers get this stuff wrong. My sister-in-law is notorious for using the wrong "your". "Your welcome." I want to correct her texts all the time.
