You can't have too many apostrophe's

That's funny, Mumbles, as slow drivers in the left line drive me NUTS!

They seem to come in two categories: those who have no clue they are holding everyone up, and those who are fully aware of it and don't care. That's it - perfectly pace that care in the next for miles so there's no way around for anyone.

Imagine someone walking on the sidewalk slowly and blocking the whole thing, making it physically impossible for anyone to go around. Would any ever consider being so rude?

P.S. You missed the point of the thread too.

Several typos in that last post!

Not because I don't know any better and don't WANT to know any better, though! ;)

And you missed the point of my responce.
What I was trying to say is if others grammar annoys you then get over it, not everyone thinks or expresses themselves like you do.
No offense but as a lousy speller this thread makes me defensive.

Paul,
You've been a good sport throughout this thread, despite tremendous ribbing, and in your defense I must add that there was a time when incorrect punctuation, and grammar, and spelling was/were thought to indicate a lack of education. However, my direct experience with several thousand post-graduates, MBA's, Phd's, proves otherwise. Those with advanced degrees also make the same or similar errors although admittedly less frequently and often in innocence, correcting the errors if they discover them. Interestingly, a great number of them also lack reading comprehension skills despite the fact that interpretation of the written word is a major requirement in their profession. It's something that should have been mastered in high-school or college.

Nonetheless, the emphasis on perfect punctuation and grammar usage is on the wane. Communicate an idea succinctly and clearly and you have succeeded in the use of the language. At least that appears to be the current standard. Should we revert to a standard of perfection in usage?? It would be great, but it's not a reasonable expectation. It's not hard to imagine the Queen's Court in the 19th Century feeling the same distress over Americans common-use of English and the severe damage that would cause to the Commonwealth. Somehow we survived that calamity only to face one of our own making as we watch the evolution with trepidation.
