| Alright. Just a little "English lesson" for today. It has been driving me crazy latley that people have replaced Etc with Ect. So here we go. Here is the difference:

Yes that does indeed get on my nerves. My biggest gripe is with people who use your instead of you're I hate anything that is spelt wrong to the point I have to read it differently. Like when someones says Your in the context of You're I always pronounce it the way they spell it. As in, Your cool. sjbafjk | |
