Grammar question

blubirde · Chanel

I think you can say either. I think poor and bad can be used interchangeably in this instance. I'm interested to see what others say though... I could be completely wrong. Wouldn't be the first time!

I think it's "poor." I don't think it's necessarily not okay to say "bad grammar" but I think it's better to say poor.

This is one question I did not know the answer to! I looked it up, but can't find any answer. In every example I found via google, they were used interchangeably. Personally, I agree with NC -- I'd use poor. But I would love to know the real answer if anyone has one!

Either should be fine. Isn't it like saying "bad form" vs. "poor form" -- no big diff?

Yeah, it came up in Spanish class today (oddly enough, not English) and I said that I'd always thought it was supposed to be poor grammar. Everyone else seemed to think bad grammar was okay, I guess because it's more commonly used. It just sounds funny to me to say "bad grammar" but I didn't necessarily know if it was wrong.
