Abstract: The rise of social media as a leading platform for day-to-day communication has greatly influenced how individuals use language, particularly in informal digital contexts. This study used descriptive analysis in evaluating grammatical inaccuracy observed in used-generated posts on popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Using a descriptive research design, frequent grammatical inaccuracies were categorized into themes including spelling, capitalization, punctuation, tense shift, sentence structure, and subject-verb agreement. While many inaccuracies appear involuntary and done unconsciously, some exhibit changing language practices shaped by digital culture. The study draws attention to the need to balance linguistic correctness with the evolving nature of communication in the digital age and reshapes language learning and usage.
