I hear errors in nationally produced TV commercials and news stories...and even more so in local products.
"There's..." (with a plural subject of the verb, as in "There's ten soldiers in that tank") There is?
"Like I said" as opposed to "...as I said...."
"I am literally dying..." (we hope not! Perhaps figuratively?
"She's the cop that shot me"...should be "who shot me"...that cop is a person, not a thing.
Now AI may achieve what my pitiful efforts failed to do: bring correct grammar to everything.
Humans failed, so the machines will have to bring clarity to public writing and conversations.
Google is starting to use its translate program to correct the incorrect, to make writing more grammatically correct the same way it has been correcting our spelling.
