KIDS IN BRAZIL ARE CORRECTING JUSTIN BIEBER’S GRAMMAR ON TWITTER
What a brilliant idea! School kids in Brazil have been learning English by correcting the grammar and spelling of celebrities on Twitter. According to Buzzfeed, the leading English school in Brazil started having their 8 to 13 year old students correct tweets from celebrities and the kids call themselves the Celebrity Grammar Cops. The kids send very polite corrections to many famous people including Rihanna, Sylvester Stallone, Justin Bieber, Charlie Sheen, Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian etc. Many celebs have been corrected for using were instead of we’re. Kim Kardashian and her whole family consistently use “I” when they should use “me” (example: “Bruce took Khloe and I out to dinner.”) Many fans have commented on the corrective Tweets but no celebrities have ever responded. Above is a video about the Grammar Cops:

Some video games. Some old movies… That was a long bus ride. But we here. #sleep

Hi, @justinbieber! My name is Maria, I’m 9 and I’m a fan from Brazil. Watch out: it’s “we’re here” not “we here”. : )
