I know. Just like misuse of the word “To” instead of saying “Too” or “Your” instead of “You’re”. It’s grating. Many of these posters are otherwise quite literate and learned. My guess is at some point about 25 years ago, the American School System collectively decided to stop correcting people about such spelling errors because computer systems such as Spell Check would soundlessly fix it for them. So the lessons of correction have never been learned to this day.

Yes. It’s really jarring to see such illiteracy. Apparently the editors are as uneducated as the writers.

I don’t get why your quiet so upset. Don’t loose you’re mind over this, Doc! It’s to bad that the writer’s don’t catch there own mistake’s, but there editor’s don’t either, so I guess its not really a big deal anymore. Just spell it like you want too spell it.

“she’s kept quite “

She’s, in the this case, is the contraction of she has. It is not the possessive.
