But I have some big-time grammar pet peeves - mostly errant apostrope use, and their/there/they're type stuff.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409767497696978361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505490.post-67505769183453887422008-07-06T16:52:00.000-04:002008-07-06T16:52:00.000-04:00Oh my gosh!

You use -es instead. So the Jones family would be "the Joneses". <BR/><BR/>The only time you'd use an apostrophe would be if it was a possessive, like "The Parsons' house". "Parsons's" would be acceptable too.<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/mfp59Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809929710257793614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505490.post-31907400615642790702008-07-04T00:01:00.000-04:002008-07-04T00:01:00.000-04:00The only exception to that is when the last name e...The only exception to that is when the last name ends in s, you can use an 's.

I have issues.<BR/><BR/>I should point out that on message boards and even blogs I don't care that much. I still love you Jen. :) It's mostly in official publications and signs that it bugs me a lot. If you're going to have a sign over your business for years and years, wouldn't you spell check it first??Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809929710257793614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505490.post-22440709431766088642008-07-02T16:55:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:55:00.000-04:00I am so with you!!

I have even heard someone say, "come on over to David and my's house!" Wha-huh? Oh my gosh, I could go on and on.<BR/><BR/>Having said all that, when you read my blog please don't judge me too harshly - I have two babies and literally only minutes to post things. Actually, send me an email if my grammer and spelling are overwhelmingly offensive so I can improve. Because sum peepul think its kewel two spel good. (Yet another doozy: well v. good.)<BR/><BR/>lovemeBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541305954686697592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505490.post-75360916018418618902008-07-02T16:12:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:12:00.000-04:00Oh man, you've hit the nail on the head! This is ...Oh man, you've hit the nail on the head! This is one of my HUGE pet peeves (along with improper use of punctuation, especially commas and apostrophes). <BR/><BR/>You touched on a lot of mine, but one of my big spelling irks is "expresso." Sadly enough, I noticed in my phone book that they had to put it in there for all the people who don't know how to spell espresso. Fortunately, underneath it did point out that people should look under "espresso" to find the listings.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to meet a fellow spelling "Nazi." :o)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100023167123234673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505490.post-49521950112287854662008-07-02T12:03:00.000-04:002008-07-02T12:03:00.000-04:00I cant say I have any, but thats just because I br...I cant say I have any, but thats just because I break all of the above on a daily basis. I dont remember all of the rules, and honestly im lazy. I do try to remember spell check, but sometimes by the time I remember its too late. So I hope you will forgive me for it. and for this post as I'm sure there are tons of mistakes!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355223167864077882noreply@blogger.com
