Apostrophes are my biggest pet peeve. Why is it that the punctuation mark with the simplest rules governing its usage-- and the most rigid, so that there's no real need for tricky judgement calls-- is the most misused? Õ

Could be worse....

..punctuation, schmunctuation, 's only a tool like Capitalization -- if it doesn't get in the way of communication, what's the big deal : )

Auuugh, yes yes yes yes...

I've said it before. Punctuation, grammar, spelling... when someone doesn't make the effort to type correctly, they look sloppy and lazy, and frankly unintelligent. Their typing is the only visual we see of them, after all; we have no faces, no voices, no direct links to the body or mind but that which they choose to show us, represented by their typing. To me, if their typing looks stupid, they look stupid.

Take the time to use the delete key... *sigh*

Oh well. I just stay away. ^^;
