I did good.

     So I rewrote this about five times because I had no idea where to start.  There's so many grammatical errors that people commit over and over.  It literally drives me crazy. I know it may seem like it's not a big deal, but being able to speak and write well is so important. Notice how I didn't say "write good?" If you can sound eloquent and smart when you speak, it makes the difference. I promise.  Think about it.  If you're (no, not "your") at an interview and you use the wrong tense of a verb or, you incessantly say "I did good," you can end up sounding uneducated.
     Say it's been narrowed down to you and one other person for this job position.  You have equal experience and the employer thinks you could both be fit for the position. However, the other person speaks well and also knows that she is doing "well," not "good" today. Speaking improper English says so much about a person. It could potentially make-or-break this type of scenario. You are making audible the things you've learned in school when you speak. Talking like a caveman isn't okay.  You want to show that you paid (not payed) attention in school and actually know how to talk.
   So I just wanted to make a little introductory post that explains a bit about why I think it's important.
