Looking twice, I see this man:

But maybe what they say about old married couples is true.

Small fries. Very small fries. How about that ONE DOES NOT NEED AN APOSTROPHE TO FORM A PLURAL???!!!

And then there’s -

there, they’re, their;

where, wear, we’re, were;

its, it’s;

then, than;

effect, affect;

etc, etc...

Don’t even start with any foreign language quotes: MAJOR FAIL, 99% of the time.

Many people posting on the internet are just plain (not plane) dumb!

But what effect would Martial law have if they effect it, and will it affect you? Better then than now, it’s its own quagmire.

...and a lot of mistakes with these-

of-off
and
here -hear

If people would only take the time to check the dictionary when they are unsure of a word, in time the correct usage could be learned!
( Duh-I know!! Elementary!!)

Seem's or seems? ;)

Hey, I had Voyages in English as a grammar textbook. Several Sisters of St. Joseph and School Sisters of Notre Dame would have my head if I made such errors.

[Arthur McGowan]

A JOKE!!!

I had Voyages in English, too. And I STILL put a comma before the last item in a series. I will never, never, never, never, never surrender.

[gunnyg]

...and they'll also add an "s" to it....and not just any "s"...in their worlds, all s's must be an apostrophe "s" don'cha know...

You’re my hero after posting this. Bravo.

It must be my #1 pet peeve about FR. #2 - misspelling the word “facists” when it should be fascists.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Opps.

This is a Public Courtesy Announcement.
Yes, Martial Law might well involve Marshalls, but the root of it is from Mars, the God of War, in other words "Martial Law".

My dear friend Tax-chick,

If the topic of this thread does not justify a Typso Ping, I do not know what does!
