What gets me is my mother, who used to be so good at proper English (yes, she taught it along with math and history for high school).
Now it seems she has been dumbed down by the idiots out there, that she thinks her “Smith’s” is correct (it was a gift; ma and pa didn’t have it made themselves). I am flabbergasted that I am arguing about this with her now.
Arrrgh! They're everywhere. I, too, tend to just leave those who proudly sport such stuff alone -- don't want to start a Hatfield's and McCoy's thingie after all.......
