Hello, long time reader, first time commenter
Does anyone else get enraged by Shawn's grammar? I feel like I watch his vlogs but his terrible grammar makes me so angry I can't believe I bother. Let me give a few examples:
1. He says the word 'what' instead of 'that' nearly all the time. Like he'll say, and I am paraphrasing here, 'All the rides what are here are brilliant'. Who speaks like that?
2. The Americanisms he spouts are so frustrating to listen to. He now ALWAYS calls a 'lift' an 'elevator'. And when he says the opening times of a park or a ride etc. he even gets American English grammar wrong. Like in the Fantasy Island vlog from the other day when he says at the beginning, ''They are actually running a fireworks display, with the rides open
THROUGH UNTIL 10pm.' WHAT IS THAT?
THROUGH UNTIL? Not only using 'through' in the American way, instead of 'to' or 'until', he puts through and until together to make it even more painful to listen to
There are loads of other examples but I feel I have written too much already! I know it sounds pedantic but good God, did he leave school when he was 8 years old? It doesn't put me off watching his vlogs though, as I said, but he really needs a tutor to stop him embarrassing himself. Especially when he films on a water ride with random people and his appalling grammar is shouted out for all to hear!
