English 101
I will probably get flamed for this but I can't friggin stand it anymore. I have a hard time understanding some of the posts because of poor use of english.
their = belonging to them, as in: That's their new Camaro. there = over there, as in: That's their new Camaro over there. they're = they are, as in: They're detailing their new Camaro over there. break = destroy something, as in: I will break the seal on that bottle of wine. brake = thing that stops the car, as in: Step on the damn brake. right = correct, as in: He was right about the hp gains. write = put on paper, as in: Write that down. wright = someone's name, as in: The Wright Brothers were the first to fly. your = belonging to you, as in: Is that your new Camaro? you're = you are, as in: Now you're going to have to make payments.

This one does. I had an English teacher in high school that drummed into our heads that you are judged on how you speak and write.

Journalists can't even write proper english anymore. Read anything written before about 1950 to have your mind blown.

No flames here. Some of my posts consist of just spelling corrections. Usually...*brake. That one seems especially tough for some people to grasp.
