...and the lense or lense's of course. :rolleyes:

I know you put the "e" in there intentionally to show the misspelling, but please tell me you put the possessive apostrophe in there to show incorrect use as well. :D

Its not very tackful to correct someones' grammor unless its in a spelling class. The peoples that spell improperly generally mess up there punctuation's and proper forms of werds two. Luckily I English is purrfect so just copy what I right and you will bee fine.

Its not futile, some people just need some guidance. Just because their not good at grammer and spelling doesn't mean there dumb or anything. Grammer in general isn't known for it's ability to be understood easily. Thats why so many people struggle with it.

Don't loose your mind over the fact that others may have a loser grasp on the language then you. If we correct mistakes when we see them, itll make is all more affective speakers.
