In honor of National Grammar Day (yes, it’s an actual holiday), Grammarly.com compiled a list of the top 10 celebrities who showcase the best grammar on Twitter. It’s pretty tough to say everything you need to without misspelling some words all while staying under the 140 character limit, but somehow these celebrities manage to get their message across with about one mistake for every 100 words they tweet.
Conan O’Brien came in on top with the least amount of grammar errors: .21 mistakes per 100 words. O’Brien is followed by Bill Gates with .22 grammar mistakes and President Barack Obama with .26 grammar mistakes. This comes as no surprise, since all three are Harvard graduates.
O’Brien’s fellow talk show hosts Ellen Degeneres and Jimmy Fallon also made the list, tweeting with only .29 and .30 errors per 100 words, respectively.
At the bottom end of the rankings are Selena Gomez at number eight with .98 mistakes per 100 words and Justin Timberlake at number nine with exactly one mistake for every 100 words. Khloe Kardashian rounded out the top 10 with 1.18 grammar mistakes per 100 words, which is still quiet impressive considering how often she tweets.
It would be interesting if there were a way to find out how many grammar mistakes we make on Twitter. Where do you think you’d rank?
