Somewhere on W. 40th St, I found my #3 most hated spelling/grammar error. (#2=misuse of it's/its; #1=spelling 'lose' L-O-O-S-E). Nevermind the sentence structure...very "All Your Base"-like.

I would put the misuse of "your" and "you're" in my top three. I would also include the practice of making words plural by adding an apostrophe.
Ugh. So true, adill. Those are also on my list. By the way, I found an error that grated my nerves in a cab on the way back from the theatre the other night in Boston. I'm not sure if all the cabs in the city have this error, but it was on a printed sticker. It contained "taxi's," and it was meant to be the plural form of the word taxi, but instead it was the singular possessive form. Annoying! My friend restrained me from ripping it off the cab. I wanted to, really badly.

Why dis?
I use a beat up, well-loved Canon Powershot A40 to provide digital snipits of what I see, because society tells me it's cool to have a bigger digital footprint than a carbon footprint, and I listen to everything society and stuff white people like tells me. I update when I want (which may be once a day or once in a blue moon), because it gives me rebel-like qualities without really doing anything rebelious.
