Previously I said I didn't care if people couldn't figure out the difference between "your" and "you're." To be sure, when someone makes that mistake, I figure them to be pretty lame. By lame, I mean they most likely didn't get very good grades in school. Or, they simply were not able to comprehend basic grammar while they aced calculus.

I see this everywhere now. I expect to see it in the newspaper and magazines before long. You know what that means? The incorrect usage will become adopted and included in Webster's newly added words. To me, we're there already.

Or should I have said, "Were their already" ?

Anyway, I find that it does still irritate me that people who can get jobs paying 5 to 10 times what I've ever made in my best year can be so ignorant.

My observation is that 60% of the posters here get it wrong. When I move to other forums about garages or home improvement, etc., it's closer to 90%.

God bless America's education system.
