je sait ecrire sant fotes et avec la bonne grammaire et syntaxe

Lately my biggest pet peeve when I read forum or comment posts are basic grammar and syntax mistakes. I'm not talking about advanced ones such as exceptions or conjugate an obsolete verb tense, but rather grammar rules that teachers teach in grade school. There is one mistake that drives me BONKERS: the usage of the "participe passé" (past participle) in French. The rule states the following: "After a conjugated verb, use the past participle". This is a very simple and easy rule to remember, ex: j'ai ecris, j'ai battu etc. However, the difficulty comes of the usage of the "participe passé" of verbs of the 1st group (those that end with "er", which is pronounced like "eh" (yes, the Canadian way to end a sentence eh :P). This "eh" sound can be written as "er" or "é" (classic homonym), but everybody knows that a word that ends with "er" is, 80% of the time, indicates that it is a verb. Unfortunately, people don't seem to know the difference! I mean people, this is taught in GRADE 3!!! I should stop reading the comments on rds.ca, not because it has the most bias views on the habs (if we win, they are all, YAY! WE ROCK! LINE 1 AND 2 ARE THE BEST!!!1ONEONEONE, but if we lose, they are ready to trade the entire team, and then fire the coach, GM and the rest of upper management) but the people who write ARE ALL GROWN UPS WHO PASSED GRADE SCHOOL. I feel sorry for today's society, I'm sure my 8 years old nephew is smarter than those nimwits
