Its advice not advise
I am so sorry. I had to do it. Advice is the noun, advise is the verb. I guess it's just a pet peeve because I am certainly not the grammer queen. I realize that we are all typing fast and that email and the internet have their own language. This particular misusage, however, occurs quite often on this site.
Call this a troll if you must. Dis me all you want. It had to be said.

Speaking of nails on a chalkboard. It's ST. PETE BEACH for cryin' out loud, not St. Pete's Beach...although it may sometimes resemble what his beach might look like. LOL
And there's a lot of lightning in FL and NOT lightening!
OMG that felt good!

Another grammar queen here. Although I certainly flunked punctuation class.
And without spell check here I find myself with my dictionary close at hand.
Definitely seems to be at the top of the list
Your and you're
it's and its'
separate and seperate
I could go on, but it's enough to make us question all those old spelling tips we learned ;-)
We could then go on to the new *text msg* appreviations that truly send me over the edge.
How do u feel about that language ;-) ?
