I'm not the greatest at grammar when speaking or writing, (a little dyslexic) but I know bad grammar when I hear it. I took the previously mentioned test and got them all right!

One of the questions mentioned my pet peeve:
Wrong: There's two ways to get there.........
"There are two ways to get there from here?my way and the wrong way."
This is used so much now, I was seriously beginning to think I was wrong!
Here's another. Not exactly grammar, but have you noticed when "everyday people" are being interviewed lately the word female is used instead of woman or girl? This happens on the news and on "Jerry Springer" style shows. For instance "that FEMALE over there" or "She's a beautiful, hot looking FEMALE" . I wish I could think of a better example..
It seems so animalistic.
I think they get it from the penal system. "Our suspect is a 20 year old white FEMALE"!
Please excuse my grammar and punctuation. I'm just an "every day person" not a scholar!
