RE: Let the grammar wars begin!

["Barbara Vega" <BarbaraV -at- libertyims -dot- com>]

 Let's see...

1) Travelled or traveled, counselled, or counseled, levelled or leveled,

What else...

2) "Irregardless" is my old favorite and that of my mother who would
turn green if anyone said it.. "Irrespective!" or "Regardless!" God rest
my mom's soul...

Hmmm

3) "If I would have known," instead of "If I had known"

4) Using a 's for all plurals, instead of just for acronyms. (This is on
sign's everywhere - and you
even see it written on email's these day's now don't we.. - Since when
do we make plural's with an apostrophe and an "s"? 

5) And yes, that preposition at the end of a sentence. Actually some of
this tolerable - for me anyway. ("What hotel are you staying in?") But
for God's sake, if I hear "Where is it AT?" one more time...

Just wondering...
