    It drives me nuts too...all kinds of grammar mistakes do but I rarely call them out because I accidentally make them every now and then! Oop's Stick out tongue

     

    ETA: grammar mistakes...go figure!

    Yeah, I am walking a fine line since baby brain makes me sound like an illiterate moron some times when I speak, yet the hormones ramp up what is usually a semi-bearable level of irritation over grammar mistakes. 

    My body can do whatever, but I can't WAIT to get my brain back!

    Can I please throw "it's" vs "its" onto the bandwagon too?

    THANK YOU.

    Also, you don't "loose" your mucous plug. I see that one a lot.

    Similarly, "babies" is not the possessive form of baby!! I see that one on here a ton, and it drives me nuts!  "We have the babies room almost done!"

    I'm more of a spelling mistake person. Don't most computers have an automatic spell check program?  If I misspell something (even on the bump) my computer underlines it with red.  The last post I read had 'devistated' written instead of devastated.   Even now as I post this, the word is underlined in RED!

    Do you know Hyperbole and a Half? :) After reading this blog post about "Alot" I can't help but laugh whenever I see people use it as one word. It's pretty funny.
