As I was driving the other day, I saw a sign that said, "The Church's of Laddonia Welcome You." Ok that's neat, but the church's what? Don't you mean "churches"??
Then I was watching television yesterday when a scrolling message came across the top explaining a change in programming. A line from the message read, "...KMIZ will resume it's regular programming on Monday." Good grief! Don't those people have broadcasting degrees? They can't even spell "its" for heaven's sake. "Its" as a pronoun has no apostrophe people. If you want to say "it is," then you use one.
As if those things weren't bad enough, I saw a t-shirt with the words, "I tease my sister until she cry's." CRY'S! Are you kidding me?? C-R-I-E-S.
I may be a grammar freak, but it doesn't bother me when the average person makes a mistake. However, it does bother me when a broadcaster or a t-shirt printer or a newspaper editor makes a mistake.
Should I not let it bother me so much, or are my feelings justified?
