Glad you took note. I wish everyone else on the Shroomery would too. Another one that gets under my skin is how people always fuck up their, there, and they're.
Their= shows possession. Example: The girls didn't want to loose THEIR virginity.
There= refers to a place or condition. Example: There is a crack pipe sitting over there on the toilet cover.
They're= a contraction of THEY ARE. Example: Gumby was talking about people who mess up the use of their, there, and they're. He thinks THEY'RE fucking retards that should have paid more attention in high school.

using a ' and usually 2 extra letters or they're'abouts is just 2 much work. Having 3 words so similar is just a bit overboard. People always know the word you meant to use so whats the point. Its just about elitists, and having your knife and napkin in the right spot. Its basically whats fundamentially wrong with society, control and elitism. But i guess everyone does it in there own way, but maybe thats because its so contagious. Its like those people at work who complain, then 5 mins later you find yourself complaining when you normally wouldn't.

Another reason Spanish is so cool. They only have two contractions in the whole language, and the don't use apostrophes.

One thing that pisses me off is when people use single quotations when double quotations should be used. You're not British.
