Now it's on billboards, national advertising, television. <br /><br />My pet-peeve is the abuse of the apostrophe - "car's" when they mean "cars." OMG people! Basic punctuation and grammar are taught in GRADE SCHOOL! <br /><br />Are people getting dumber, or do they just really not care any more?CandyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664818861874419334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-48565059811935647312012-01-05T18:54:18.680-05:002012-01-05T18:54:18.680-05:00Hey, Grumpy!
