You aren't picky - you are a keeper of the faith at a time when spelling and grammar is under attack from all sides! Hold that line!

Bad spelling by journalists! Incorrect use of pronouns! "Her and I went to the movies." UGH!!!!

Some on BYC remember when I wrote to a real estate company and told them they had wrong word usage on their huge highway billboard and pretty much that it made them look illiterate. They actually had it repainted, too! It said, "For Sale, One Acre Tracks".
I told them the word was "Tracts" and that I'd love to see the animal that made those one acre tracks, LOL.
The apostrophe "s" for every darn word that is plural drives me insane! That is for possessives, not plurals. What are they teaching in English grammar these days, if anything?
