The Kardashian sisters recently paid a visit to The Tyra Banks Show, hence providing a Grammar Guard lay-up.

Tyra seized the opportunity to ask about Khloe’s jail time. “You’ve been in the news about your DUI,” she led brilliantly.

After Khloe said she didn’t regret the mistake, Tyra praised her for not being “flippant” about it. (We didn’t follow either.) “I can see that this is truly resonated in you and I applaud you for that,” said the speech-challenged talk show host.

Resonate is a technical term from physics that somehow drifted into mainstream lexicon, a popular choice for low-IQ stars who want to sound intelligent.

To resonate means to resound, to amplify vocal sound by the vibration of air in certain cavities and bony structures.

Some linguists discourage the word. “Don’t use it,” professor R. L. Trask insists. His advice is worth heeding.

But if you can’t resist the r word, use it sparingly to mean “to relate harmoniously, to strike a chord.” And make sure the subject of your sentence is the message that strikes a chord — not the person relaying the message or the audience listening to the message.

A message or, in this case, a lesson may resonate with you. It may have resonated with you. But you can’t say the lesson “is resonated in you.” You can’t mix the present and past tense like that, Tyra, even though you’re constantly reliving your glory days as a model.

Kim blogged about the interview today for posterity. She crafted quite the clever headline: “Tyra quizzes we Dash Dolls!”

This one’s as obvious as Kim’s outfits are. The sentence consists of a subject (Tyra), a verb (quizzes) and an object, the people being quizzed (the “Dash Dolls”). Kim should’ve written, “Tyra quizzes us Dash Dolls.” (We don’t consider the exclamation point necessary. Getting quizzed doesn’t seem exclamatory.)

Writers often get tripped up with the pronouns they use as objects when they tack on another noun afterwards. The waiter enjoyed us ladies. The cop arrested us girls. The presence of these additional nouns can prompt writers to erroneously flip the us to a we. But us is needed anytime the pronoun is the object of a sentence — that is, the recipient of an action.

Make it easier for yourself: Don’t tack on that additional noun. It’s usually unnecessary. Like The Tyra Banks Show.
