Mademoiselle--- Perhaps a pill will help.

I know!

In fact, when I see that, it literally makes me want to vomit in disgust!

Oh, and another thing I detest is when people react in an overly dramatic fashion.

I remember how the other kids used to say that old Mister Swenson was the meanest man in town.
But I said I thought he was nice, that he just didn't know how to show it.
The meanest man in town, I said, was the mean old guy who lived in the big white house.
"THAT'S MISTER SWENSON!" they said.
Oh, my mistake.

I agree completely!

Another example is the confusion between its and it's. For example, one uses "it's" like this: "It's fine weather outside." "Its" is used as an adjective of sorts, equivalent to "his" or "hers" - as in, "its publishing rights," to quote one outlandish example.
