THANK YOU....I was going to mention that, but I didn't want people whining that I was being 'insensitive' for correcting people.

It's one of my three major pet peeves with language. The other two are "could care less" when it's "couldn't care less" and the other is "the First Annual." There is no first annual. The first time it's just the "first" or the "inaugural." After that it's the annual.

Yesss!!...And don't forget "I very sports-orientated". No, you're not...but I'll allow you to be 'sports-oriented'.

That's an international thing, and actually proper English. In the UK, it's orientated like orientation.

Well, "irregardless" of that, we're in the U.S., so 'oriented' is the recognized proper usage. I could care less what the UK does...

They're vs. there vs. their; It's vs its and Your vs you're all run rampant on this forum. If we pointed out every single grammatical and spelling error around, we'd be here for days.
We could not be doing this without you.
Much love and gratitude.

I guess I just expect better from grown, educated adults. My mistake. Sorry for having higher expectations of people. My error. I forgot we're in the "don't correct anyone...it'll destroy their self-esteem" society.

It's OK to agree with me...it's not a crime. Maybe this subject SHOULD be raised...in the interest of having a 'smarter' forum. Some of the grammar/spelling/word usage is pretty bad. Is it just laziness, or something more serious??

"I could care less what the UK does..."
The phrase (with its normal meaning) isn't, "I could care less", it is, "I couldn't care less".
IOW, I could not care any less than I already do about what the UK does.
