Ok, This has been happening a lot around here

WHY on EARTH would someone put an apostrophy in a word that is JUST plural!
examples from latley on here:
video's
cola's
PLEASE if you are making this mistake take notice, it is making it hard to read and understand when you use incorrect grammar!

I am so sorry if I am one of those people. I can't spell though.

What I find even more annoying is when people can't spell things right. I know that we all spell things wrong occasionally but some people spell every word they write totally wrong.

Or when people spell friend like "frend" and really like rilly. If you can't take the time to get it right than don't post at all. It's ironic because the people that usually spell like that aren't in a rush, they stay on PT all day they just choose to write like that.

Yeah, it's also hard to read when you spell things like "latley" ;)

Excuse me!!! I have dislexisa and can't help it so sorry to you all! we have gone through this once before . get over it.

I do understand that people have dyslexia and that's alright. Sorry, my post was directed to the people that completely capable but choose not to.

I think we can put this whole issue to sleep. It has been discussed, rehashed, argued about, and debated ad infinitum. I really see no need to go through this again.

For those who still feel like there's more to be said on the issue, here's the thread.....

sorry, I am a very bad speller but when I see that apostrophy when there shouldn't be one I'm just CRAWLING out of my skin, I'll stop now.

I am bad at spelling and grammar, lots of people are, get over it. EVERYONE has little things that annoy them, you cant please everyone. I ENJOY posting on message boards and obviously so do others, people have said "type your post in word then copy and paste it here" easy answer..NO. why? because posting here is FUN, I will NOT look up word spellings or proper grammar and I will not type in another program before posting, thats not fun, thats tedious and incredibly annoying, if someone chooses to do so, good for them, its obviously something they dont mind, but frankly I do mind.

Misplaced apostrophes annoy me a lot in the real world. But many people just do NOT understand when to use them and when not to.

We ask that everyone try their best to use proper spelling and grammar, it is only polite for others. We have a whole thread about this in General, it is one of the stickied ones at the top of the forum. We don't need a new thread for it!

We are all human and make mistakes, and therefore should forgive others when they make mistakes, too!

I don't make any of the mistakes you mention, but even if I did, why would it be such a big deal? I go to college, I already have enough classes where I have to have perfect syntax. Why waste my time to have perfect grammar and spelling when I am just posting to have fun and relax? :p

Honestly there are much more important things in my life than worrying about this type of thing, I have said it all before and once again, I come here to listen to what people have to say and enjoy,I find it all a bit nit-picking to be perfectly truthful, and I simply do not care either way, I am more interested in what people are saying, not if it is spelt correctly, using proper grammar,and keep in mind I do not spell the same as Americans, example, color American way, Colour Kiwi way, Check American way, Cheque Kiwi way.

I am terribly sorry if i am one of the people who do it. Shayna and Carole very well said :D.

I sometimess make mistakes, and most things do not bother me, but a couple of posters make me cringe. He is an example...
