A Lesson in Grammar

Lately I've been all about using correct grammar during my every day speech.  Over the years I've noticed that the most frequently broken grammar rule is putting yourself before others in a sentence.  Here's an example:

Me and Scarlett went to the movies last night.

Scarlett and I went to the movies last night.

The first sentence is obviously incorrect.  Now, I never make this mistake in writing as usually, using proper grammar is on my mind as I'm writing.  During every day speech, however, this is not so.  I speak without thinking all the time, and I find that I make this grammatical error all the time.  I have been cognizant of my literal wrongdoings for some time now, but I always assumed that this is something that would continue forever.  Well not anymore it's not.

About a month ago I decided to start correcting myself whenever I made this mistake, and let me tell you, it feels excellent.  I have gotten an outstanding intellectual boost from overcoming this lifelong problem of mine, and I am presently trying to further improve myself on as many minute details as possible.  Having been able to fix this miniscule detail has made me feel far more sophisticated and competent, and I'm not going to let that end here.

I'm on a quest of supreme maturation, and nothing can stop me now.

What is your most frequent grammatical error?

Until next time,
Stay frosty
