English is a Mess

A word from our sponsor:

It seems all of us have an opinion on words and spelling errors we spot in the stories we read. I have a few of those such as "your" (possessive) used in place of "you're" (contraction of you are) and visa versa.

To be fair I set a lot of readers teeth on edge by slaying the King's English and use of colloquialisms. In defense of my abuse of English which I was forced to try and learn and failed miserably. Because of the hodge podge of languages it is derived from it's like learning a couple dozen different languages. Centuries of, mixing them together and tormenting all those who are forced to use it into communicating with it. We won't mention what our cousins across the pond do with it. If that wasn't enough it keeps dropping words from use and adding new ones all the time. Ain't that the truth.
