    So THAT gets your feathers ruffled and not all the dinglebunnies here on this forum that don't know the difference between your and you're?
    I wish there was a modified "ban hammer" to correct those faux pas.
    Your and you’re irritate me little, but I find there, their and they’re much more irritating. Of course, the absolute worstest is two, to, and too.

    My memory is awful but it seems like that's how it was pronounced when they first started selling them here years ago.
    I remember the big auto show in Houston the first year Hyundai was in the U.S. They had big posters hanging everywhere that said "Rhymes with Sunday."

    So THAT gets your feathers ruffled...
    A bit, yeah.

    But nowhere near the extent of what really gets my feathers ruffled: push handles on pull doors and vice versa. I don't know how many times I've nearly pulled my arm out of the socket when I approached a door with a pull handle, grabbed the handle and gave it a mighty yank, and the door didn't move. Because it was a push-to-open door and someone had put a pull handle on it.

    Drives me nuts. It's so bad that I've actually gone to the management offices of a shopping mall just to pointedly inform the manager on duty "You've got the wrong handles on the entrance doors!" in a voice louder than it really needed to be.

    I'm a little more mellow these days. Thank goodness.
