Hi, Friday Folliers! Today the Grammar Cop treats you to no less than five boo-boos, all gleaned from the Opinion (letters) page of our popular weekly, The Suburban. Without further ado:
Friday Follies #73 – 3 mistakes that make me go “Arghhh”
Greetings, Friday Follies followers. (Say that 10 times fast!) This week’s errors involve spelling. Of course, you clever people can spot the mistakes immediately! Right?
Friday Follies #71 – 3 mistakes that make me go “Arghhh”

Friday Follies #64 – 4 mistakes that make me go “Arghhh”
Hi FF fans! Today the Grammar Cop is going to provide you with an extra teensy challenge. She will list the infractions but leave it until the end to explain what they were. That will give you more time to spot them yourselves.
