Your instead of you're
I know my grammar, vocab and spelling is not perfect. English is my second language, but I can't stand seeing people using "your" instead of "you're" I see this more and more. Lately, I'm also seeing people writing "their" instead of "they're"
Sorry....just felt I needed to say something about that!

You're not alone!
There are times that I quietly go "Aaarrrggghhh!" I'm far from perfect, but seeing the spelling and grammar on some of the notaries' Web Sites makes me cringe. If I were looking for a professional to do an important job for me, I wouldn't choose someone who could not use commas, apostrophes, and other punctuation correctly.

Things make you go "Aaarrggghhhh!."

I posted this very thing once upon a time saying something like: It really bothers me when I see "your required to take a notary test."
I took a notary test and/or filled out a package this week from a major signing service which had a heading: "Excepting Assignments."
These are things that definitely "Things make you go 'Aaarrggghhhh!.' "

I saw the same package, at least I hope it was the same, and I could not help but think of the many low pay services where I would really like the opportunity to accept the assignment except for the fee. :-)

While watching a football game a while back, I heard John Madden say that a player "literally exploded down the field," and I thought, "Geez, there must be pieces of him everywhere!"
