Someone also needs to learn how to use “you’re” and “your”.

I’m not a teacher. Just someone who appreciates the proper use of the words of our language.

If I had a nickel for every time I corrected someone for using the wrong form of your and you’re, or there, their and they’re, or can not for cannot, I’d have 0.00. If I had a nickel for every time I saw the words written incorrectly, I be a millionaire.

There is no point; it just seems petty.

Yes! And “there” and “their” seem to be above the pay grade of a lot of people. There just isn’t enough time to teach English and grammar when the first priority is to teach socialism/communism.

Ditto, although we did homeschool our kids so they would properly use the English language.

One manages editors for scientific magazines.

It is sickening to see "journalists" writing so poorly.

It is sad to see a Freeper defending the ignorant "journalist".
