This Blog is About Things I've Noticed

NOBODY knows how to use apostrophes.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Below, if you can use English above the third grade level, just move on and read a more interesting blog.

My boss is always writing e-mails about employee's and there is a sign on the way to work advertising for Panini's. People who do this are idiots. Bad grammar signals to me that you are an incompetent, poor in the sack, have halitosis and vote republican. Furthermore, it signals that you are not to be trusted to do even the simplest task.

How is it baffling when something is possessive/plural? Plural is just more than one. Possessive is if the subject owns the work following it.

Try to think of some examples from your life. I came up with:

"Magdelena's work world is a cornicopia of grays."

Here work world belongs to Magdelena and grays indicates that there is more than one shade of that particular color.

I believe that most second graders should know this, yet when I go to work I find myself surrounded by moron's.
