What's the plural for for multiple StarBucks shops?
🤔🤷‍♂️

Just so you know, asking someone, "Please may you ..." when you want them to do something is not valid English. Please stop doing it, it just makes you look silly. :/

"Please may I ...?" means "Please would you permit me to/Please do I have permission to ...?"

"Please may you ...?" therefore means "Please would you permit you to/Please do you have permission to ...?"

Which is nonsensical.

But in South African English, I think its #grammar, rather than #grammer 😉

Yes, I know, I make typos too.

🎼 Anything you can do I can do better 🎹
🍅 I can do anything better THEN you 🍅
😭 No, you can't!
😀 Yes, I can
😭 No, you can't
😀 Yes, I can
😭 No, you can't
😀 Yes, I can, yes, I can

I've sometimes wondered why on elevators it tends to say "maximum 10 persons" and not people.

My youngest texted me this:

Its harder when someone else doesn't tell you who to look at and read.

Hashtags do the work of finding affinities. Search for #myinterests #USpolitics #AvocadoFarming #grammer in the resulting column, at the top is a 'follow' icon.

If you click the icon, that Hashtag will be followed as if it were a person. Follow several, even many.

You will see good accounts, dont just follow the best, see their followers, and follow them.👈

You will follow someone you later unfollow, its ok.

What's with randomly putting a question mark at the end of statements these days? It confuses the hell out of me

e.g. "You should go outside?"

Either write "Should you go outside?" OR "You should go outside". Then I know how to respond.

Is it to make it sound softer; less directive?

If it is, find a different way. All it does is mashup your intention. Stop!

so is it 'in-office' or 'in office' for work.

The correct spelling is
SCHOOL not
SCHOOL.
Some people put the second O before the first O which is very wrong. #Grammer #Spelling

Got into a friendly argument with a coworker this morning over the phrase: "Our team of professionals is ready to help you today."

They keep wanting to use "are". Nope, it's "is". Team is singular in US English. "of professionals" is a descriptor of team not the subject.

Oh, the silly things we argue about in the morning before coffee. 😁
