Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

I do find misplaced apostrophes annoying.But, usually, only when "deliberate". If your finger slipped, or you forgot the correct word in a storm of posting, then fair enough. If, on the other hand, you think that "its" and "it's" should be interchangeable than I disagree completely.
Concepts are much easier to explain, and understand, when a language is consistent and as complex as possible without requiring more than the first few years of life to "master".

I know the difference.But I will often unthinkingly use the wrong one and not realise unless I am proofreading what I have written.
