They are; they're; there; their. English is a complicated language and our education system is doing a poor job of teaching it. Drives me nuts but I take a deep breath and keep reading.

Butter Bean, thanks for taking up the torch of grammar.

Haha. Two funny.

My pet hate is incorrect punctuation and the failure to use 'TOO' where needed. An object is NOT to soft, it is too soft.
I don't know what's happening with the English language, but reuse is incorrect, it is re-use.

Cheers.

don't even start with the voice to text stuff. I've sent a few good ones that caused a stir and good laugh when I read them after the fact.

Tell me about it! Throw in the Minnesota accent and it just kicks back "sorry, not for you"
I have to speak very slowly if I want it to pick anything up.

OK fresh off the press. This sign is at the front of the largest supermarket chain in northern IN and southern MI. So they disenfect instead of disinfect? SO how many members of management have walked past this sign and either don't know or don't care? Dang, no spell checker in a Magic Marker!

Nothing misspelled, but still ridiculous. Finished up a large building remodel for a healthcare insurance company. This is their policy! A huddle of one

OK one last gripe. How many times do you see grammar and or spelling errors on your local TV station relative to an event? The most common I see is "recieve" and doesn't anyone look at the scrolling lines?
