I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets caught up in stuff like this! My favorite from our local newspaper is reading about people "repelling" down mountains. It'd be pretty impressive if I could repel a mountain...

My personal favorite is "please bare with me"
On several dog lists I'm on, dogs are shown for "confirmation" instead of "conformation." Makes my fingers itch to correct them.
Misused apostrophes make me cringe.

Dear Mummies w the little prince n princess @ the coffee shop today.
Hellooooooo...The cafe's NOT a playground!!! :mad: :mad: Telling little prince boy to "don't go beyond there" isn't very logical for a small child...DUH!!! :rolleyes: Also, since when do you allow YOUR child to get in the way of people SERVING others. Excuse me, your child was in the way of the waitress doing HER JOB. ALSO, your sprocket BLOCKED the door, put his hands on the glass pane on the food display area.
AGHGHHGGHHG..Go to A PARK and have coffee. Do not bother the rest of us with your sprockets.
Harumph.
"Specially prepared for you"
What happened to the "e"?
<sigh...>
How about "I road my bike down the rode."
I see that one a lot here...
And, an apostrophe is not necessary every time you see an "s" at the end of a word.
Sigh,
I guess you weren't in my English class in 7th grade
Owlie, I think that might actually break some kind of contract they signed at your birth....
Many of the race reports I read will talk about "coming down the shoot". No, it's *chute*! :rolleyes:
I get irked by unnecessary apostrophe's too.
Dear Governor of Wisconsin
Congratulations, you brought Cairo to Wisconsin. I noticed in your budget that you gave tax breaks to rich people, but are trying to destroy unions and make things even harder for the working people.

You're going to discover that being a governor really isn't an easy job and the people have had enough.
Congratulations!
Sincerely
a union member in Washington

Lisa, that made me laugh.
The local paper here covered the "staff infection" of one of the students at my school. And yes, the paper said it was a serious " drug resistent staff infection."
Has anyone here actually used the stickers that come with "Eats, Shoots & Leaves," or seen them in use?
coming from a school, that's really scary!Quote:
