Ooh! I hate the 's for plurals! I see that all the time! It also
ticks me off that people spell CDs (as in more than one compact disc)
as "CD's". CD's is only good if it's something like "the CD's case
was cracked".
I don't really like the misuse of to and too, either, or how people
use your instead of you're. I'm picking my friends up on their
grammar all the time, which is probably my worst habit!
Seriously though, I'm usually wary of grammar and spelling posts like
this, because I always make at least one error and make a complete
idiot out of myself!
