Reminds me of that shirt Paris Hilton was wearing in one of her pictures.

'Your hot'  
instead of
'You're hot'

What a dork.  Actually, you'd think the folks who made the thing noticed as well.  How many fledgling dorklettes now think 'you're' is supposed to be spelled 'your?' as a result?

Grammarian usually has little to contribute to a discussion and possesses few effective weapons. To compensate, he will point out minor errors in spelling and grammar. Because of Grammarian's obvious weakness most Warriors ignore him.

No way ~ you should always be anal about your spelling & grammar. And raise your kids to have proper spelling & grammar. ;)

I'm kinda good with spelling, but grammar is another story. I do remember to use the proper 'its' spelling though. :)

spelling is overrated, that's why my e-mail and word program both have spell checkers.
