Now, some might say this is the whole reason I started a blog – so I could bitch about bad grammar.

And they’d be right.  Well… it’s not the whole reason, but it’s important enough to devote a whole category to it.  Now… how big will WordPress let me make this next sentence?

Please people… learn the difference between “you’re” and “your”!  *FACEPALM*

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I emailed them (of course), but got an “undeliverable message”.  You obviously don’t have to be a university graduate to work for the London Development Agency.

Note: Some of you are bound to think that being pedantic is bad.  Well… I think being sloppy and uneducated is bad.  I’m sure most of the time it’s a matter of being sloppy, not being uneducated, but you just never know.
