I don't know what's worse, all the errors or the use of Comic Sans
Hello! I just discovered this blog via a column in the Seattle Times; and the subject is right up my alley. Apostrophe abuse is one of my pet peeves too; and there seems to be no stopping it! Even professional writers and newspaper editors coming up with headlines are doing it! I pretty well freaked out not long ago when I saw a newspaper headline somewhere relating to something that "Arab's" are said to be doing--as if "Arab" was an acronym or something. It especially annoys me that I've done this myself a couple of times by accident (LOL)...
God, comic sans.
