“[This is] too funny not to share [with you].”

“[It would be] too funny [of me] to not share this [with you].”

Different meanings. First refers to whatever is funny; second to a state of mind. More obvious if you substitute “weird” for “funny.”

Even if you don’t parse it that way, the first version scans better and sounds more natural.

I think they’re both grammatically valid. Unless one is pedantic.

:thumbsup: Possibly

I can’t get my friend to stop saying irregardless instead of regardless in the right context.
Implying and inferring get mixed up by a lot of folks.
Who and whom as well.
As I am Wont to do……a favorite of mine.
It is Champing at the bit, not chomping at the bit.
It is Unkempt…..not unkept.

Unkempt relates to the lack of cleanliness whereas unkept seems to me to be an attempt at an outdated idea of the kept woman versus the unkept woman. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone make that mistake.
I mentioned above the fact that it is acceptable to end a sentence in a preposition, but I have heard some use the word proposition instead and that has quite a different meaning.

As for the much debated regardless versus irregardless, I recall a dictionary editor explaining why both words are in the dictionary and why; I will see if I can find any information on that discussion.

The point of the “irregardless” is to shut down conversation. So “irregardless” is a word. It has a specific use, in particular dialects. That said, it’s not part of standard English and so — especially if you’re writing or if you’re speaking in formal places — you want to use “regardless” instead. Because if you use “irregardless,” people will think you’re uneducated.

Champing at the bit refers to the horse gnawing some at the metal bit in his mouth, but chomping is also correct when referencing noisily chewing food.

I had a teacher who gave us pennies at the beginning of the year. Every time we used the word “got” she took a penny. That was in grade two and I still rarely use the word “got”.

I had another teacher who hated the local slang, she wasn’t originally from our area. Where we lived, it’s common to say “I tuck a bath” or use the word “be” as an inappropriate past tense..
“I be doing the dishes when such and such happened”
“I be doing the laundry when I ran out of soap”
“I be tucking a bath when someone be knocking on the door”

She tried to break us but it didn’t work. My Mom’s neighbourhood has been gentrified and there are so many Torontonians moving it that we’re losing our local accent. She would have been thrilled to bits by that.

Oddly enough the teacher that I learned the most about English grammar from was my French literature teacher. I don’t ever recall her speaking English but she spoke about English all the time. She was not a fan of it. I found her to be very amusing which is the only reason I remember anything about what she said.

For La’s example, I would have said (I be saying): This is too funny, not to share (with you). I don’t mind leaving off the “with you” but leaving off the “this is” would annoy me.
