A
pet peeve of mine, too. Everywhere I look, there are writers and
journalists who don’t know how to spell. “Its” and the whole “your”
thing drive me nuts- very confusing to read at times. The purpose of
correct grammar and spelling is not to score a passing grade in
elementary school English- it is to enable accurate communication and
grammar.
Especially “your”- as in “your mistake,” Not “your not spelling the
word correctly!” “You’re (you are) not spelling the word correctly!!!
No wonder the economy is going down the tubes… better educational systems in China and India, I suppose.
