The article about the seven grammar rules are the most common grammatically incorrect ways to write a sentence. Each rule described the way the sentence is usually written and the way that sentence should be written. All of the described rules are easy to break and aren't always easy to catch.
As I read through the article I, being a grammar Nazi, have also made these mistakes. I also found that even titles in movies and jingles are grammatically incorrect, such as:
* Honey, I shrunk shrank the kids and * I wish I was were an Oscar Mayer wiener.
When I think about it I understand all of the rules and why they are this way. A couple mistakes that I make include not making certain verbs passed tense and saying something like," My friend made salsa, guacamole, and brought chips" instead of "My friend made salsa and guacamole and brought chips to go with them"
I will keep these in mind as I speak and write and continue to correct others on their words even though I still make the same mistakes. Ha.
