What the grammar police want for their birthday


  1. An official hunting season on people who can't differentiate between its and it's.
  2. A blogging ban on those who misspell more than three words per sentence. Go see Dr Language, and don't swim in the blogging pool again until it's all cleared up.
  3. The sale of keyboards licensed. Licenses will only be granted to those that can correctly use 'their', 'there' and 'they're' in sentences.
  4. A recycling program for writers who refuse to use dictionaries or style guides. Turn serial offenders against language into tasty cupcakes. Yum. (Hint: avoid being recycled into a cupcake by picking up a copy of The Elements of F*cking Style.)
