Local car dealer had a billboard touting:
The BEST "deals".

For car dealers, it should be "BEST" deals.

I think *these* are used in some computer applications because "these" don't get processed correctly.

Spell check isn't bad, what's bad is their are two many words that can be spelled correctly yet be incorrect in the semantic context.

I am all for spell check. People my age used to be able to spell "recommend", but sometimes we forget.

Which is worse? All of the "likes" or "you knows".

I dislike statements that are repititously redundant:

Such as, i.e. : I got up at 7 am, in the morning.

/signed/ Me Myself

I had a computer instructor who liked to use irrevalant for the word irrelavant. We tried to tell him, but he never got it.
Irregardless, I learned alot from his class.

I could go on and on, ect.

You can't use too much pepper or too many commas.
