You Yanks and Yankettes mangle the Queen's English so frequently that I have decided to begin a gramnar go-to place.
Have a question on grammar? Usage? Punctuation? Awful trends in the language?

Try me, blokes!

Each day or so I will highlight a facet of English that we tend to mangle.

Let's begin with the common mistake of noun verb usage:
"Each one of you have a mission in life."
It should be thus:
"Each one of you HAS a mission in life."
Each is called a determiner. And it's a pronoun. But it can mimic a noun that affects the verb has/have.

Each is singular, thus, has.
I aint got no grammar or punkuation probs
