So I will have a complaint here:
Why is it that everyone uses the same grammar mistake? I have not seen anyone except one or two people who have avoided committing this horrendous error. Here it is:
Put out the fire!
Turn off the lights!
Punch out his eyeballs!
OK these may not seem to be mistakes to you. But what about more examples of clauses with the same structure?
Turn back time.
Pay back him.
Beat up him.
OK the correct structures should be:
Put the fire out!
Turn the lights off!
Punch his eyeballs out!
Turn time back.
Pay him back.
beat him up.
You see, almost no one I know or even don't know puts the prepositions after his sentences' subjects. For some reason it is always BEFORE the subject instead of AFTER it. I hope to see people bothering to remember this simple grammatical rule that almost no one has...
EDIT EDIT: Sorry. It seems like I made an error of my own. It is OBJECT not SUBJECT for all of those sentences in which I used the word subject.
