Re: Grammatically Speaking

haha the bored one is dumb, that's not grammar just an archaic rule of preposition usage which doesn't make a lick of difference. it doesn't even have a real explanation after it other than "yeah that one's wrong lol sorry." the definitions of prepositions are so fluid it hardly matters which one you use half the time; regardless of the definition, you'll still get your point across even if it's blatantly wrong

I think if everyone in the US took it, the average would be a lot lower. I'm pretty sure a majority of the people that take it are grammar nazi's trying to make their e-peen larger.
