Facebook infuriates me constantly. Mostly I hate it. But the problem lies not with the site itself, but with the people who use it. No, wait, that didn’t read as well on the page as it did in my head. Stay with me. Please. I need the attention. No, what ACTUALLY infuriates me is the poor spelling and grammar. I am constantly appalled whenever I read a stream of status updates. It makes me cry inside. It’s a strange condition, I know, and one day I will get round to seeking the medical help I so desparately and obviously need. In the meantime, however, here’s a handy guide on when to use (and when to not use) an apostrophe. I know that this is only a small step and won’t stop people writing “wuu2” (which I’m tol means “What are you up to?” - does that sound like a something a suspicious parent would say rather than a friend to anyone else other than me? No? OK then…). Here’s said link (note my correct apostrophe) http://apostrophe.me/ There’s some other pretty cool stuff at the bottom of the page worth taking a look at. Hey, you’re on Facebook, of course you have time! Posted via email from stephen hallam’s posterous | Comment »
