Sure. And Texans think they live in a “whole other country.”

I think this is a mute point.That's a moot point.
I mean since we are being pedantic here.

And while we’re at it, for the love of Pete, the title is Fire MARSHAL— not Fire “Marshall.”

Thank you.

Also, contrary to what Sean Hannity seems to believe (in local commercials he does for jewelers in Minneapolis and elsewhere), it’s “jewelry,” not “joolery.”

And while we’re picking ear-grating nits here, the phrase is “I get the GIST of what you are saying,” NOT “I get the JUST of what you are saying.”

Sheesh!

MM,
You’re ‘to’ funny- x ‘too!’ :)
As for ‘Marshall Law’... that’s at my sister’s house since she married a man named ‘**** Marshall!’

Thanks for pointing this out. “Marshall law” bugs me right along with “loose” for “lose” and “speach” instead of “speech.”

You are being pedantic, I was being scarcastic. “Mute points” irritate me more than “Marshal Law” or to for that matter tha “Martial Plan.”

It was all I could do not to play grammar-cop when I saw someone (not here on FR) write "wahla" in a post intending for us to read "voila" in the sentence. Oy.
I'll add: vis-a-vis, French for "face to face", you're supposed to use the hyphens in the preposition for in relation to. Speaking of hyphens, the correct spelling of this one is: pooh-poohing. Poo pooing, with or without the hyphen, is what you do in the necessary.

Speaking for those of us over the age of fifty, punctuation, spelling, and selecting the right choice from a set on homonyms were all still considered important when we were in school.
To us mistakes made and posted/printed/published in those arcane features of the English language grate the nerves and make us assume the writer is one or all of the following: Lazy (spell check is our friend), Ignorant (welcome to the wonderful world of teachers' unions), or stupid (can't trump genes).
It is sort of like what "penmanship" and normal mathematics (vs. "new math") was to the generation before us. In the late 60's and early 70's we could spell and knew the difference between "They're" and "Their" but our handwriting was almost illegible and we had to relearn how to do math as soon as we landed our first jobs which required us to make change.
On the latter point, don't you love the puzzled stares of checkout people when you give them $21.50 for a $16.50 tab and ten seconds before the correct change appears on their register's screen you tell them you'll take five one's?
