Applause! Huzzah! Bravo, Richard, bravo!
Apostrophe abuse is becoming pandemic, along with the
incorrect homophone (there/their/they're, breech/breach,
etc.) and the ever-more-popular substitution of "loose"
for "lose."

You didn't mention your/you're. Like fingernails on a blackboard...

Especially when you read the Death Notices and see that many of the
folks that died are younger than you. To think you are much closer to
the end than the beginning, when you didn't think of such things. ;-)

Something else is oozing up out of the interstices between
the cobblestones: "then/than," with a soupcon of "that" added.

I attended an SF convention and was given a paperback by the
author. On page 35 or thereabouts I found "hue/hew" and
immediately brought it to his attention.

Sometimes I feel as if I'm fighting a rearguard action
against abysmal dumbth, and losing.

To paraphrase Heinlein: "The fatality rate for all activities
is the same -- one per person." And from somewhere: "Life is
a fatal STD."

What gets to me is the way many use "to" when they should use "too"
(meaning also or excessive). e.g., I want one, too. It's too hot to
touch.

I kinda like to think of it as the first day of the rest of my like. ;-)

This program Death Alert, uses simple techniques to guess a persons'
date of death. Enter your birth date and a few other things and Death
Alert will predict the day at which you will die. Death Alert 3.o is
more accurate and more user-friendly with new things. Death Alert is for
fun-sake only.

Although death is not a subject of profound thought for most people, it
is an unavoidable end.

No one's property, wealth, career, or close friends have provided
avoidance of death.

I want two, too. (Say: "two, too" over and aver again.)

I find that probably 75% of people do not know the proper usage of
"affect/effect."

"It had a bad affect on me." Wrong. Effect.

It's kinda off topic but to paraphrase Mark Twain (iirc), "No one's
property, wealth, career, or close friends are safe as long as the
legislature's in session."

Kinda on topic: your true legacy is how you've changed the lives
of your close friends.

I make a protestacioun for I wol speke my wey.

Chaucer 'n' Shakespeare, gud enuf 4 them, gud enuf 4 mi.

Meaning doesn't lie 'tween the letters, 't lies 'tween the words,
th'ugh misuse of polysyllabic verbosity usually obfuscates and
exacerbates an underlying paucity of content.
[ if you have nothing to say try and distract them with
vocabulary , urgency and volume :-) ]
