Have you ever learned or spoken English?
Both your grammar and your punctuation are appalling.

True, Jeff – it’s still a nerve-grate-inducing thing to see, though. Another example of valid “optional” apostrophes mentioned in that book is in brand names. “Macdonalds”, for example, is valid, even though it logically requires an apostrophe.

It’s been a while since I read it, but I believe “Eats, Shoots, and Leaves” (I think I got the punctuation correct) says that “CD’s” and “DVD’s” are valid pluralizations. The reason given was one that stuck in my gut (and stuck in the author’s gut as well), but it was logically explained and made some amount of sense.

I completely agree. Bad grammar and incorrect spelling freak the hell out of me. Seeing “CD’s” and “DVD’s” on notices in the windows of computer shops makes me want to break out my Tippex.

I feel your pain. What really annoys me are (ouch! – kae) the fact that people still confuse there, their and they’re. They’re three different words. It’s really not that hard.
