I agree completely
![]() It also bugs me when people put "to" instead of "too" and "too" instead of "to" ![]() Oh and "its" instead of "it's", think I'll stop there lol i could go on all night ![]() Its meaning 'belonging to it' has no apostrophe. It is a possessive pronoun like his. One of mine (most of the others have been mentioned) is 'here here' instead of hear hear. I always want to post where? where?
