When people just go crazy with the way their words are apostrophized.
Example: "We are all out of Mango's." "Lot's of Car's on Sale!"
"The client brought 7 weapon's to his therapy appointment."
All are incorrect (and one dangerous). I have no problems with making up words, gross exaggerations of numbers, the over-use of commas, hyphens-and-ellipses...sentence fragments, beginning a sentance with the word "and," and even refusing to use correct capitalization. But please, if you're gonna use an apostrophe...
P.S. I have an equal aversion to "your" and "you're" and "their and they're"...especially if these words are to be printed on a T-shirt. I see many clients whose clothing throws me off for a whole session and I feel inclined to take a Sharpie to their shirts to ease my discomfort. I realize that this is my issue. And I'm working on it.

You should talk to Rand about grammar. His BYU English class has ruined him forever. I can't get away with saying anything wrong! Oh well, gotta love him anyways!
Uhhh... I'm sorry you're as neurotic as I am. You should look into MENSA. (Not mensa... totally different!)My poor husband didn't know he was marrying a grammar nazi. Gosh, this blog is a lot of fun.
