grammar police

i had a dream about this topic last night. in the dream, i was at work and came across an official memo that misused "your" in place of "you're". while i really do understand that we all make mistakes, especially when we're working quickly, poor grammar in professional communications drives me bonkers. do i want little men in uniform to come a-runnin' when someone confuses "they're" and "their"? no, probably not. but i do think we'd all benefit from double-checking ourselves and using our noodles.

note: i'll re-read this post at least twice in hopes of not having grammatical errors in a post about the grammar police.

note 2: why do i picture the grammar police as being tiny men? in my mind, they're about the size of 12point type - as if they're going to run across the screen and fix the mistake, while taunting the typist.

note 3: i will definitely be on the lookout for poor grammar today and report back if i find anything good. :)

grammar - it's more than a cracker.
