Google is your friend, or even a dictionary.
Now, I know that my spelling isn’t always spot on… But at least I didn’t spell the website name wrong 😉
Did you mean? I think you did…

My pet peeve- people who say "Fords; Chryslers etc. They are not possessive nor plural people!
I agree with Joe, what's the purpose of pluralizing automotive company names? It's only done in Windsor.
my brother once called me while on a road trip out east only to tell me of his encounter with a chinese resturant with the name of "HO-LEE-CHOW"
which if you read it right is "HOLY CHOW!" lol
with the Ford's and Chrysler's.....it only works in windsor and detroit because these are their homes, and the people that owned them were local. does it mean it's right? no, of course not. but, i suppose it was Henery Ford's company to do with what he pleased, so why not?
Collectable and Center.
Both of those piss me off. If you're going to open a store, do you bloody homework. It's not a wonder our kids have poor english grades anymore, the bastardization of the language is in our faces every day. I admire the work ethic of people who immigrate to Canada and open businesses. It's their right to make a living. It's not anyone's right to mess up the language. The other problem is our proximity to the states, our language gets Americanized. In Canada we speak the Queen's English.
Krazy Keith.
Yes, Dan, that's meant to be funny :)
If you are on Wyandotte near Jefferson, look at where the old Alphakor computer store used to be. Take a look at the sign on the upper right side of the building near the roof. "Satisfaction" is spelt "Sastisfaction". I mentioned that to one of their people and they had no idea.
And in case anyone is wondering "spelt" is proper English, not "spelled". I learnt that a long time ago. :-)
nothing irritates me more then when people can't sort out "thier" "there" and "they're'
Steve... or "than" and "then"?.... let us face it... The English language is weird. Of course you meant 'their' and not 'thier'.... just a 'typo' and not a misspelling?
The favourite around these parts (Tronna) is in front of restaurants, saying Dinning Room...
