I mean, most of us were energetic 10-year-olds hopped up on sugary cereal when we learned this stuff, so it's hard to pay attention. I have ADHD on top of it, so what the hell were we talking about? Oh yeah. Apostrophe's. :) Tough to spell, tougher to place with consistent accuracy!

And the crappy school systems in this country don't help much. Not even teaching cursive handwriting is a crime against humanity.

Making things worse is the irregularity of English in general; "its" is possessive WITHOUT an apostrophe! The average person has got to be like WTF, you fuckers said it was "apostrophe s" for a singular possessive, then you bring this "ITS" bullshit? Qeq

So IMHO it's better to lighten up on people about the grammar and spelling. Unless they correct others about it, and do it wrong. Then its on! :)
