Not A Grammar Nazi, But....

I find it disturbing that the more technologically advanced we become, the more illiterate we become. It seems the days are gone when articles are proofread before they are published.  The computer has really made Americans lazy.  No need to pick up a dictionary if you are unsure how to spell a word, just use spell check!  And that wonderful invention called the backspace button?  The people who invented white-out aren't getting very many royalty checks any longer...  Then there are the people too lazy to even use spell check. Or speak properly. I won't even get started on that, because my main argument is the misuse of words when written.  To, Too, and Two are NOT interchangeable, and all have different meanings: "I am going to the store." "You can come too." "The two of us went to the store." The same with There, Their, and They're. NOT interchangeable! "There is a red car parked down the street." "The person who owns the red car left their engine running." "Maybe they're just dropping something off."

Now I won't call you out if you misspell or misuse a word, but I know that every English, Writing, and Language Arts teacher I had in school would have a big, fat red pencil in their hand waiting to correct you.  And remember:
