Y’all Are Making the Grammar Guru Crazy

Okay, look, it’s simple.

Hear means to use your ears or your hearing aid to listen to something that is being said.

If you agree with someone’s statement emphatically, you say, “Hear, hear!”

Here means in this exact place.

So you can say, “I can’t hear you because there is a crazed iguana screeching in here.”

But you mustn’t say “Here this. I have a crazed iguana hear.”
