If you're troubled by grammar, here's a helping hand

You guys are posting so many of the same things that trouble me!

Here's another one that drives me absolutely WONKY...

"Okay, no offense but..."

The word "but" simply negates everything that preceeded it. "I'm sorry but.." Please, no BUTS. Please say what you truly mean and mean it sincerely. No "but" action, please (unless it's the good kind. Cha-ching!)

And much like it was referred to in the movie Mean Girls, if somebody says "no offense, but.." expect that you are going to hear the most offensive thing ever.

Mean Girls started the whole "I know, right?" thing. Just like Clueless started the whole "As if" thing.
