It just offends me to see apostrophe abuse!

Inner Sanctum26 Feb 2013 8:54 a.m. PST

Plus the use of "z" instead of "s".

I couldnt agree more – these people's need to lern.

Pictors Studio26 Feb 2013 8:59 a.m. PST

Maybe only if someone makes too of those mistakes in there post.

MajorB26 Feb 2013 9:02 a.m. PST

At least the Kindly Editor has the grace to fix them if he spots them.

Sorry – I autocorrect everything as I read in my head so I do not notice the poor english unless it is really mangled!

Mind you I can read upside down writing faster than most people read it normally…

Griefbringer26 Feb 2013 9:13 a.m. PST

Isn't the embarrassment caused by such mistakes a harsh enough punishment?

MajorB26 Feb 2013 9:15 a.m. PST

No, becuase if you cant spel you dont notice.

Know, they should not be.

epturner26 Feb 2013 9:33 a.m. PST

Ahhh. John. We've had this conversation.

Just because you've attended a school run by the Sisters of the Grammatically Righteous and Perpetual Indignation, doesn't mean we've all had the benefit of a rap across the knuckles by Sister Rosetta Stone or Sister Mary Elephant…

It's okay, pal. Deep cleaning breathes. Remember, this is electronic media. No real commas, apostrophies, or ampersands were harmed in the writing of this message.

John, you could easily get caught in your own trap. So let's not go there. Besides, many TMPers come to us from non english speaking places. Are you ready to learn all of their languages? I'm not.
And thanks to the rest of you for your humor.

Kaoschallenged26 Feb 2013 11:25 a.m. PST

Meh.I couldn't possibly care less.Sometimes I miss a letter or mistype. Besides isn't that what "The Editor" looks out for? Robert

epturner26 Feb 2013 11:28 a.m. PST

Non English speaking places?

Like The South?

(Defined as anything more southerly than New York City)

What language do they speak in New York City?

EHeise26 Feb 2013 11:54 a.m. PST

I'm wondering if the OFM started this post to read the hilarious responses or if he really means it!?

Griefbringer26 Feb 2013 12:09 p.m. PST

What language do they speak in New York City?

Dutch?

I gove them a pass.
The ones who should be publicly humiliated are those from so-called "English speaking countries". They should know better.

What really bathers me is when people use a bunch of maple props, it's cone-fusing

Robert66626 Feb 2013 12:34 p.m. PST

No.

kreoseus226 Feb 2013 12:36 p.m. PST

The Doghouse for anyone who spells honour or colour without the letter "u".

Fonthill Hoser26 Feb 2013 12:51 p.m. PST

"I gove them a pass"

So what's your excuse then, John?

I don't recall the last time the United States was an English speaking country. Clearly was before my time. grin

I begin to suspect John refuses to eat at Chick-fil-A. Their advertising would cost him his appetite.
