It's weird that eschewing is a real word.

Saw a sign today, chalked up on a blackboard:

"Live sport's coverage here!"


THANKFULLY a brilliant punctuation freedom fighter had smudged out the offending apostrophe. That's the kind of terrorism I can appreciate.

yeah, i love bad apostrophes in signs, there is a shop in town that has beef gyro's cigarettes painted on the building's front - i like to imagine the name of the proprietor is Beef Gyro
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

never been a fan of ur as it sounds most like U-R as opposed to yr (actually just a shorted version of cowboy slang "yer") which can fit into both teh conjunction or the posessive.

For me, Ur is an ancent city in Mesopotamia, and yr is short for "year."   

On shepherd forums, does "us" mean more than one female sheep?
