likethebeer"Your invited to hook up for a discreet sexual encounter".
1.) I'm hoping that I never get to the point where I take that stuff seriously.
2.) I'm offended by the your/you're thing.
3.) I'm wondering how soon I will start to defend people who get your/you're, its/it's, whose/who's mixed up, because I gravitate so much to the underdog and anti-snobbery (although I'm still working on "whose/who's" - maybe that's also why).

Date: 2011-11-10 02:28 am (UTC)Dad married a second generation teacher (librarian, actually) who occasionally would express a pet peeve that is rooted in 19th century American English. Ex. "We were looking foreward to a healthy dinner at The Shed." [Wrong]
The correct usage: "We were looking forward to a healthful dinner at L'Etoile."
