Tama ba to mga sis? Nabasa ko lang, just a portion of the paragraph:

"..., you're there to say how happy and proud you are of me"

YOU’RE versus YOUR

Contraction of YOU ARE versus the possessive form.

I remember one time an old frenemy wrote in her dating profile, “I am YOU’RE GODDESS.”

When translated directly it would mean “Ako ay ... IKAW ANG Diosa.”

Grammatical blunder aside, what she wrote was perfectly sensible kasi hindi naman talaga siya kagandahan, and between the two of us AKO nga ang Goddess

Wrong: NOT unless =  Correct: UNLESS
Wrong: Last two days ago = may last na, may ago pa.. You can use either "last" or ago

gender pronouns 'he' and 'she' used interchangeably, natotolits tuloy ang kausap, di malaman kung babae or lalake yung subject/topic.

Nazi alert! nice thread.

Most of us use the word "segway" in relative contentment, as a useful word to mean "to transition to".  Correct usage was actually "segue".

[rastagurl11]

With regards to vs in regard to. Regards is a salutation.

I also hate hearing did you bought vs did you buy. Did + present form of the verb.

[iloveshoes88]
