What do you do when you see grammar errors in an official communique from the president of the U.S.?
One retired English teacher decided to send it back, with comments and corrections,.
The comments, written by 61-year-old Yvonne Mason of Atlanta, include “OMG this is WRONG!” and “Have y’all tried grammar & style check?” Mason said she was mailing it back to the White House with the corrections added.
“I have never, ever, received a letter with this many silly mistakes,” Mason told the Greenville News.
Her major correction appeared to be the incorrect capitalization of the words state, nation and federal.
“Federal is capitalized only when used as part of a proper noun,” the paper reads.
The New York Times notes that letters from previous presidents also capitalize these words.(globalnews.ca)
