Subject: RE: BS: STOP writing 'Who's'! Enough!!!
Things that drive me 'round the bend:

Your when they mean you're You're when they mean your

Too when they mean to To when they mean too

LibARY!! There's an 'R' in there people!!

"Let me axe you sumthin". - No! Don't AXE me!

"I don't got no libAry books, I jus' wanna use these 'puters."

"Where's Joe at?"

"Whatcha gonna dethaw for supper?"

Oh, there are so many. English is a very strange language, mostly because it is a language made by cramming in bits and pieces from several different languages over at least three different language families. It is also not a very static language, new words from other languages are constantly being added.

That being said, some butcher the language more than others.
