"All right" is 2 (two) words. "Are you feeling all right?"
"Where you're at," "where you at?", etcetera.... In fact, ending any sentence with a preposition spins me into schoolmarm mode. Where's my red pencil? "Just checking to see where you are. Looking for as many people as possible with whom to dive." (Crap-did I just use "whom" wrong?)
"A lot" is 2 (two) words. "There are a lot of fish out there."
"Their" is a possessive. "They're" means "they are." "There" refers to a place. "Their boat is just over there. They're bringing it over now."
"It's" is a contraction of "it is." "Its" is a possessive. "Its dorsal fin is huge! It's at least 2 feet high."
That's what I get for staring at computer code all morning....

Apostrophes. My pet peeve is people who can't use them properly, be it "it's," vs. "its", or just simple misuse to form plurals. Screw that one up, and it's hard to get me to flip off the "bozo" bit in my brain.scottsax wrote: As a hardcore texter, txt msg shorthand is OK with me.

This is my kind of humor.
"Can I come?" = Am I capable?
"May I come?" = Do I have permission?
Example:
{PADI.OW} May I dive?
yes
{PADI.OW} Can I dive?
maybe
