  • recently it has come to my attention that

  • there is a significant number of you americans out there, who seemingly

  • lack the ability to speak

  • or coherently write a simple sentence in your native tongue.

  • Now, while I do take a certain degree of pleasure in this

  • I feel it is my duty to correct you in some of the most common and ghastly errors

  • you Yankee-Doodle-Dummies

  • continue to make. This is Doctor Edward Richtofen

  • GRAMMAR NAZI!

  • One of the most telling signs of complete American incompetence

  • is improper usage of "They're," "Their" and "There." I find it absolutely enraging when one cannot

  • identify the simple difference between the uses

  • Let us begin, from the top. There is defined as the opposite of here,

  • or in that place. For example,

  • if you were to ask "Where is Dempsey?"

  • I would reply, "His stupid face is over there!"

  • "Their" is a possessive adjective, which appears before a noun

  • it demonstrates possession or that something belongs to them.

  • For instance if Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai were suddenly surrounded by a horde of ravenous zombies, completely out of ammunition

  • with no escape in sight, I would say, "That is their problem, not mine."

  • Lastly, "They're" is a contraction

  • and it is used in place of "They are." As in...

  • They're slowly dying an agonizingly

  • painful death! Now, let's use all three in a sentence!

  • They're losing copious amounts of blood, as my

  • flesh-eating minions feast on their innards,

  • over there, beside that teddy bear! Ooh, that rhymed!

  • I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! (Giggles) This has been Doctor Edward Richtofen

  • GRAMMAR NAZI! Now, remember mein lieblings,

  • if you enjoy today's lesson, remember to click the "Like"

  • and "Subscribe" buttons. if you have a friend who could learn a thing or two

  • from today's lesson, make sure to "Share" it with them.

  • Finally if you think you are such a smarty pants and you have a

  • grammatical gripe you'd like to see me clarify for are lazy American brethren,

  • leave it in the comment section below.

  • If I deem it worthy enough, you might even see me share it in a future episode of

  • Doctor Edward Richtofen, GRAMMAR NAZI!
