h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dear Poinds of View. Why oh why oh why oh why.

Why do people insist upon repeating the same stupid spelling mistakes over and over again? I refer, of course, to the incessant misuse of 'your' (third person possessive pronoun) and 'you're' (concatenation of 'you are' - hence a inflected verbal phrase). Viz - 'I heard that your going to the pub tonight', or 'You're cat just peed on my shoes'. It's ungrammatical and ugly - anyone with a brain can intuitively see the difference - so why do people insist on being so sloppy? Or are the unwashed masses just growing increasingly more illiterate? I dispair.

My favourite bugbear is when people insist on putting an apostrophe at the end of any word which ends in "s" e.g. Pizza's and Burger's
AARRRRGGGGHHHHH..... *pant* *pant*

(BTW - I don't want to split hairs, but you spelt "despair" wrongly)
~ picks up skirt hem and runs in a terrified, scuttling rodent-like way from the building ~ Please don't kill me....

I know - it was deliberate.

~ hangs head in shame ~
oohhh. Sowwy.

That's okay - easy enough to not get the irony.
