Grammar mistakes, along with syntax, diction and spelling errors, have probably been around as long as there has been written language. It seems, though, that the rise of the internet has made the problem worse.
Maybe this is because less care is taken with writing destined to be displayed on a website page or used as a social media post than if the intention was to print it. Or possibly it is simply a case of people writing for the web that would not have generally been published in the past.
Either way, making basic language usage mistakes in your online content immediately brands you as an amateur writer and makes readers (potential customers) wonder about your lack of attention to detail in other areas.
If you write for the web, or any other medium, do your best to make sure that every piece of content you produce is well-written and as free of errors as possible.
This great infographic from Copyblogger explains 15 of the most common grammar mistakes people make when writing for the web.
Have you spotted any of these grammar mistakes lately, or maybe even made some of them yourself?
