Grammar Bytes! *Chomp, Chomp*

Grammar Bytes! is a website I have recently discovered and I really enjoy it. It's simple and easy to find whatever you need, you don't have to hunt through it, which is something I have often encountered on grammar websites. The "terms" section has been the most helpful for me, it takes you directly to a huge list of grammatical terms with everything from comma splices to how to use a semicolon. The website also includes instructional slideshow presentations and YouTube videos which is helpful for those who don't want to read a bunch of text because they can learn more effectively through visual aids. 

The subtitle of the website is "Grammar with attitude" and I just really like that. Grammar is typically such a dry, boring subject, but this website is really trying its hardest to make it less dry by including photos, videos and simple yet visually appealing interface.

This grammar mistake is the caption of an Instagram post from one of my followers/people I follow. I made sure to crop out her name and the photo because I don't want to be creepy or a total jerk, but the error is pretty obvious. I don't know why anyone types 'were' instead of the conjunction 'we're' but it seems to be somewhat of a serial offense. Is it really so difficult to add in that apostrophe? No. It's not. If you're taking the time to post the photo and caption, you should take the time to actually write a correct caption. "Were awesome" doesn't mean anything or make any sense, but "We're awesome" does. I know it's just someone's personal social media but I still feel that we should care about the image we convey to our followers, because who knows? A potential employer might check you out on social media and be a little disheartened when noticing you can't use an apostrophe.
