I know Average Jane and Paula who work in the industry of the written word, find poor grammer a bugbear, but its a grizzly fact you find it everywere.
Poor use of the apostrophe in words such as photo's pizza's and the like's.
I intend if it's still there, to photograph an abomination in Tesco down the road. On the local community noticeboard, there's a poster which enquires have you ate your five a day ?
OK, it was done by schoolkids, the mistake can be forgiven, but not the teacher who allowed it to leave the classroom and end up on display as proof that illiteracy is alive and well and being taught in schools as we speak.
Some of my local Twitterites find poor grammar a similar experience to sitting on a drawing pin, and I was alerted to this as an example.
And in case you didn't already guess, the first paragraph is littered just for your delectation, especially one of my favourites I've seen in newsprint many a time "grizzly" for something aboniably shocking like a murder. Grizzly is a type of bear, grisly is the word you are looking for Express and Star junior reporter.
As for texting, dn't gt me strtd m8 !
That was pretty painful!
