Grammar Nazi: Two grammar mistakes in one sentence of Trump's [View all]

[KingCharlemagne]

letter to Comey:

“While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau,”

"you informing me" -- the gerund "informing" is a noun and should take the possessive adjective "your" (not "you&quot .

"to effectively lead" -- classic split infinitive. Not a grammar error per se, but a major stylistic weakness. Would read better to say "not able to lead the Bureau effectively."

The days of William Safire, George Will and William Buckley Jr. are long gone for Republicans.

Have fun, my fellow grammarians and band of brothers!
