Grammar school, please!

Is saying "I am bias" correct? I always see it on here and I think it's incorrect but maybe I'm the incorrect one? I would say "I am biased".

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Biased is right.



Right?

[irish625]

I believe it is "I am biased."

I say biased...I never thought I was wrong, but maybe I am?

[TrudyCampbell]

Okayyy well lots of y'all say bias. Consider this a friendly PSA

[carawestt]

I am biased is the correct phrase.

I am biased as far as I am aware. Or I have a bias

Yea, you have a bias is what I say too but you can't BE bias.

Really? I hadn't noticed that. There are a few things I've noticed that grate on my grammar nerves for a second, though

I had not noticed this grammatical error popping up here but I have been away for an entire week. But yes, I am biased or I have a bias, this is without bias

I was wondering, sometimes people say "you have another think coming" but I always thought it was another THING coming? which is correct?

I always notice grammatical errors but I don't comment on them because I do a lot of typing on ipad and now have an iphone and damn its hard sometimes to be perfect. GET OFF MY BACK TRUDY. Damn you pregnant biatches be crazy. I am kidding

[spaghetticat]

I noticed it on here too, but not enough to remember who said it.

I always thought it was supposed to be think, because the phrase starts with "If you think ...., you have another think coming."

It is biased and "another thing coming". Any other grammar questions, ladies?

[teamhayes]

I suck at grammar but a lot is a lot not one word alot

Well it looks like originally it was actually another THINK coming but it seems recently thing is the more common usage. 

[UnicornDog]

You can be biased, and you can have a bias, but if you are bias, you are a cut of fabric.

Same here. There's a similar one that escapes me now, but it drives me batty.

That said, I don't like grammar police posts in general because I worry that they will intimidate less confident writers into posting less.

That bothers me because then it should be "another thought coming". "another think coming" sounds so wrong!

Using "good" instead of "well" bugs me
