Are you ready to kick off the work week with the third Grammar Snob Quickie Quiz? For those of you who were a bit thrown off by last week’s question, I promise today’s quiz is a little more grammatically traditional.
Here are the results of last week’s quiz:
The correct answer is “None of the above.” For a detailed explanation, please see the string of comments on the post. If you want the shortened version: octopuses, octopi, and octopods are all accepted by scientists as terms for more than one octopus. You will not find a scientist who accepts meese to mean more than one moose or bi to describe more than one bus, but you will find scientists that accept multiple terms for more than one octopus.
Now let’s get back to basics. Here’s this week’s question:
Grammaniac 
I love this quiz. Lately, this has been my number one pet peeve. So many people get it wrong, and it just makes my skin crawl.
I clicked “me,” but nothing happened…
Simple test for this problem: Delete the other person(s) from the sentence. Try the sentence. “*Raking the leaves is an easy chore for I” is so obviously wrong that the answer is easily found!
Yep, that’s what helps me keep it straight.
Woop woop, 100%%%%%%!!!!!!!!
Yeah, this one is totally easy, and yet it isn’t for some strange, poor-American-children-and-their-crappy-schools reason. Better get a bulk pallet of dunce caps from Costco.
I learned this in Language Arts class in the fourth grade. I have never forgotten this lesson, much like I have never forgotten the key to spelling “together” is “to get her.”
I wish you my teacher in grade school.
