    mixing up accept and except
    Yes-

    It approaches a point where, when one (such as myself) is considered to be persnickety with regard to proper usage, it makes you want to scream, IS IT TOO MUCH TOO ASK?

    Apparently, it is.

    To anyone who doesn't find use for this topic, you can stop replying anytime you like. I thought I stated that this was just a place for people to vent about ignorance in the original post. No need to get offended if you are one of the offenders in fact you can stop reading now and let us neurotic types continue. Thank you

    Beyond that anyone who is enjoying this topic should really check out this page especially the fan/hate mail.

    It is as I intended, then.

    I see a lot of these errors made. The odd word here and there that is not correct. That's ok but what get me going is the users that think it's cool to use abbreviated words every second word.
