LOL Jane n Hottie!
The egg is on my face. You're right.
Now I have a complex.
Are you happy?
I will work on that.
At least I can laugh at myself, right?
Incidentally, I know my grammar and spelling are not perfect. Nonetheless, here are my grammar peeves:
1. your/you're
2. then/than
3. their/they're
4. people thinking him and "I" are always correct
5. "an historic occassion" (should be "a" historic occassion-- "an" should be used only when the "h" is silent, as in, "an hour."

If it makes it illegible then I would be annoyed. Most things have a spell check nowadays so there's no real excuse for spelling errors. Incorrect use of words however just shows bad education.

I have this friend who can never get her grammar right. We ride at the same stable, and our trainer can't stand it either.

When people use "your" & "you're" the wrong way.
