Hillary Clinton’s supporters lead in poor grammar usage

Wichita Eagle: Hillary Clinton’s supporters lead in poor grammar usage, online service finds

Hillary Clinton’s supporters made the most grammatical mistakes, while supporters of Lincoln Chafee, the former governor of Rhode Island, led the Democratic field in proper grammar usage on Facebook.

Clinton’s supporters made nearly twice the amount of grammar mistakes that Chafee’s supporters made.

Blatantly negative comments, or those from so-called trolls, were removed from the study, which analyzed a time period from April to August.



Chalk up another win for Team Chafee


Update!! There's more to this important study ...

Democrats crush Republicans in grammar; Chafee on top

Chafee's lone supporter still makes 3.1 mistakes per 100 words. And given that there's not much to talk about he/she has plenty of time to proof read that one post.
