Someone commented about the evil "lose/loose" travesty.
It hurts me so much I couldn't put it in the pedant post. Sorry.
But you are sooooo utterly right. (Udderly!!!! aaaaahhhhhhgghhh!)
Seeing "I hope the writers don't loose too much money during this strike."
Speaking of plurals.
AN APOSTROPHE DOES NOT INDICATE A PLURAL!!!
Oy.
Remember: I don't think that people are more stupid than they used to be. I just think that we're seeing more writing from people than we used to. So the same number of spelling mistakes are being made; we just have access to them now.

Apostrophes! Don't get me started! Oh, too late. Previous lose/loose comment was spurred on by signage on my neighbor's truck. Now he's misplacing apostrophes. I'm all for free speech but even a republican can pick up a dictionary!
