Why can't we get a Grammar Police sticky? :)

You're/Your
They're/Their/There
Should of/Should have and Would of/Would have (it's not 'of', folks)

Then there's the apparent majority of the English speaking population which does not know the difference between "LOSE" and "LOOSE". Example: If you drop your ring, you might loose it down the drain.

It annoys me alot (<---that's another one, BTW). ;)

i don't know if it's out of laziness, or they really don't know......my friend(in college) mixes them both up all the time, and all of the other ones too..........almost pathetic.........wouldn't have to be a repost if people would learn it
