In no particular order:
The indiscriminate subsitution of "then" and "than" - I've even seen this in national publications. Are you effing KIDDING me? You don't know these two words have entirely diffrent meanings? My car is faster "then" yours? 
"Your" in love? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. That is supposed to be a contraction of "you are", hence you're.
I've got to repair the "breaks" on my car. Again, two entirely different words with different meaning.
And when anything is said to people that make these errors, they react as though YOU have a problem for being so uptight. Like understanding the language, having an education and using it and not being so lazy as to use poor grammar and words improperly is a flaw of character. Yikes.
Okay, I have vented now. I feel better. I think I'll take a brake now. It's all you'res. Than I'll go get a beer!  |
Ha ha! So true!
Dan - glad you're in good health and not going out to get a bier!
