I feel so ridiculous sometimes. I cannot stand bad grammar, either written or spoken. I cannot stand that people no longer understand the purpose and use of the apostrophe. I have been looking over MANY resumes recently since I am on a search committee for a position opening and the quality of grammar is absolutely atrocious. If I see a spelling mistake, misused apostophe, using "your" instead of "you're" I don't even consider them. People at work think I am totally extreme.
Please tell me I am not the only one who appreciates good grammar. Is anyone out there alarmed by what they see and hear?
Why is the apostrophe SO ABUSED????
DO they not learn grammar anymore in schools? Do they no longer diagram sentences? What's the deal?
