We already learned this in 3rd grade, I really don't see how people can forget this. It's not hard.

"You're going to get burnt by their grammar, I will hypothetically set fire to the rain.
My grammar is so much better than your grammar. I am so through with proving how good I am. Amazing how I threw that sentence together. What do you think about me now, huh?"

And I knew you were going for figuratively but I hate using that word because it just sounds so weird.

A small grammatical rant that I've come across regularly.

I tend to say, for example, 'the cakes are burnt' rather than 'I burned the cakes'. I've come across many people who say that 'burnt' isn't actually correct and not a word at all. I'd like to notify you all that it is perfectly acceptable so leave me alone :lol:
