Grammarian-types, puntuation afficionados -- the following oneliners 
about grammatical correctness you might find amusing. 

About them sentence fragments.
Between you and I, case is important.
Correct spelling is eccentail.
Don't use commas, that aren't necessary.
Don't use no double negatives.
Proofread you writing.
Try not to ever split infinitives.
Use your apostrophe's correctly.
Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
When dangling, watch your pariciples.
Avoid using cliches like the plague.

(I knows lexicographers --- I usualy breaking the rules, though I try 
not to ever not make mistakes, trying hard anyway.)
