15 Grammar Mistakes That Make You Look Stupid [Infographic]

We all make grammar mistakes from time to time. Usually it’s because you’re in a rush, writing informally or simply not devoting your full attention to the task at hand. While the odd grammatical snafu is forgivable, there are some errors you definitely need to avoid. This infographic looks at 15 bone-headed stuff-ups that will cause anyone reading to seriously question your intelligence.

The infographic below comes from the content marketing site copyblogger. It breaks down the most egregious grammar goofs that people make time and time again. As the website explains:

“It’s perfectly fine to fracture the occasional stuffy grammatical rule (and many times it’s preferable). On the other hand, making some grammatical errors just makes you look bad, and hurts your effectiveness. Sometimes we even misuse words simply because we hear others use them incorrectly.”

If you’re not the world’s best speller, it might be worth printing this cheat sheet out and keeping it close to hand. The recipients of your emails will think a lot higher of you.
