I know this sounds silly but...my dh is a brilliant man. He is low in the area of common sense, but outside of that, he is very well read and knowledgable. Lately, he has slipped up and used bad grammar. He said someone did something good. ou can't do something good, you do it well. There were a few other mistakes. I thought it was funny at first, but it has happened maybe 4 times in the last 2 days. Not that one mistake, but others. My dh has not always been of the best health and he has a heart defect, but getting him to go to the doctor would be like...well..I think it would be easier to convince him to strip naked and run through the streets clucking like a chicken. His bio mom died when he was a baby due to epilepsy and neuro disorders run in the family. Maybe I am reading in to this too much, but I know the first signs of the dementa my dad has is that he started to mix up his words. If he typically made these mistakes, I would not worry. But my dh is very particular and well spoken so I am a bit surprised about these mistakes. What do you think? Overreactive and protective wife? Or rightly concerned?
My step dad is the same way. He's very intelligent and has but missed the handout on common sense. As for your dh has his routine changed? Are his days longer? Is he perhaps eating foods he shouldn't? Are his eating habits poor to start with, such as not eating three balanced meals. I feel really terrible when I don't eat right. But if your worried you should try to convince him to see a doctor and tell him for the good of the family he needs to go. Oh, I should say after awhile my step dad lightened up and doesn't correct us with every little mis said word. He's even at times said things that maybe weren't the right context or even verbiage.
My husband uses 'come' for 'came' and 'give' for 'gave'. So, he'll say 'When I come in from work there was a message on the machine.' It's probably just he's very comfortable with whoever he's talking to.
This is just my opinion, but.... On the surface, I wouldn't think twice about it. However, if it is a CHANGE from what is "normal" for him, I would probably take note. By itself I might not say anything, but if it was accompanied with other "odd" things I would maybe check it out.
I agree with Jackie, but his he under alot of stress, sometimes that will do it too. Just keep watching him and go from there.
Is he around someone new at work that uses bad grammar a lot? I know that my dh is HORRIBLE about picking up the language patterns of people he's around for very long. (And he travels all over the world for his job...proves to be interesting some times! lol) I would just keep an eye on it, and watch for anything else unusual for him.
