I’m taking some advice and getting my own bitch: I hate when people use “quotation marks” when they’re not actually “quoting” anything.
Plus, the improper use of “apostrophe’s” drive me a bit crazy too.
(No, I don’t have anything better to do.)

Are you there God? It’s me, Tasha. I did a stupid thing and posted a dumb bitch about grammar. (I’m pretty sure no one will know it was me; I added a clever surname- something which suggests a testy school marm). But nobody cares about grammar, although I’m pretty sure that improper punctuation makes the baby jesus cry. Anyway, you can go back to solving world hunger now…I know, I wasn’t supposed to bring that up again…Signed,Tash.p.s. could you do something about these saggy nursing boobs? I’m freaking out the kids in the food court. Thanx G, you’re a bud!
Are you there Tasha? It’s me, Qwerty. I, too, hate the “inappropriate” use of quotation marks and apostrophe’s where no apostrophe should be; “facebook” is compounding this fiery hatred that “grow’s” in me. I had “too” delete “to” “friends” over it (and “they’re” overzealous use of capslock).ps next time “your” talking to “you’re” god, could you thank him for these awesomely perky boobs for me? “thank’s”!
I feel the need to correct: I think you mean CAPSLOCK!!!! (Sounds kinda like a German techno band, like SPROCKETS, only with more zeal and less humour.)
