Sorry... Pretty what, now? I actually can spell, and quite well. What you saw was a typo—the "u" and "i" keys are right next to each other. So there's really no need for name calling.

Yes "presumptious" indeed... LMAO, I'm glad someone else caught that. I love the poor excuse by Jill as well. It's pretty she can't spell...stupid bitch.

I'm awful at proofreading. I never seem to get better.

Oh, believe me—I don't point out every misuse. Only the ones in which people should really know better. When you run one of the busiest bar/restaurants on South Street, and it's part of a city-wide chain, you should really have someone proofread your menu!

This one bothers me as well, but if you're going to point out every misuse of its and it's (and non-possessives with apostrophes, etc.), you're going to lose your mind and bore us to tears. The good fight was lost years ago.

The it's and its are the bane of your existence. It's a wonder you don't succumb to its evil.

Yikes, how embarrassing! I was typing full speed and must have hit the "u" and "i" keys together—sometimes they stick on my laptop, and whichever one goes down first is the one that shows up. The error is fixed. Thanks for being such a good watchdog!
