I'm not actually sure what the correct word is for the murder of language, but linguacide seems apt enough. Today I saw written on the back of a car's windshield, in soap (or whatever), "your the shit", and I wanted to scream at whoever wrote it that they are, in fact, retards. Or, "You're retarded". I mean, seriously? How damn hard is it to know that "your" is possessive, and "you're"=="you are", as in, you are retarded, and it's all your fault. I remember the yours, along with all the toos being taught since grade school. Every single english class for years would point out the difference between these commonly misused words. I feel like pulling a Lewis Black and shouting obscenities at the utter stupidity of people. Granted, I still have problems using affect and effect, but I'm trying to learn, and those are far less frequently used, and thus are less worthy of berating for the misuse. Gah!

Me!
