What’s the pension plan like for grammar police?

Cute. The problem is that many Freepers NEED a lot of help with their spelling.

Note my tagline. I am convinced that these two words "it's" and "its" are the most misspelled words in the English language. I rarely see the spellings properly applied by people on Free Republic. Professional writers, I have noticed, almost always spell these words correctly but readers simply don't pay enough attention to learn.

Why? To live up to someone’s perfect standard? This isn’t college exposition. It’s about communication, however imperfect.
