It is certainly relevant as grammar has constantly been conflated with spelling in this thread. Using the possessive pronoun “their” for the contraction “they're” is a grammar mistake, just like using “effect” for “affect” or “your” for “you're”. A spelling mistake would be using “thiers” for “theirs”. As I said there are plenty of people that don't spell particularly well (or type poorly) that understand grammar.

Listing off a bunch of mostly blue states is a good way to make me want the opposite of what they do.

Oh, and I don’t care what you think about ‘speeding vs drugs’.

This is more whining and bitching from companies that don’t want to pay skilled people more than $8 an hour. I expect they are the same ones that complain about not enough illegal aliens or H1b’s for them to abuse.

How do you account for the red states that have decriminalized marijuana?

Speeding is a more clear and present danger to others than marijuana use.

Oh, and I don’t care what you think about ‘speeding vs drugs’.

But I was supposed to care that you think, "I’d say illegal drug use is a bit harsher than traffic violations and is a good judgement of character"?
