Join Minnesota AFL-CIO's working families as we walk in the 2013 Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade this year! Bring your fellow union members, your union's banners and colors and let's march!
We are slot 106 in the parade. We will begin line up at 10 and look for the MN AFL-CIO Banner.
The parade begins at 11 at Hennepin and 3rd in downtown Minneapolis.
For more details, contact Jessica Hayssen at 651-294-3092 or jhayssen@mnaflcio.org.

Note also: there, they're, their.
Pray that we are not as ignorant as the FreeRepublic posters.

(9,760 posts)When a word is misspelled or is mistakenly substituted for a word with a meaning that is inconsistent with the ideas surrounding it, the inaccuracy can create confusion in the mind of the reader. The flow of the passage is temporarily interrupted; frequent spelling and meaning errors can compromise the credibility of the writer.

Their They're partially correct. Some people just can't get past an error, even if the meaning of the writer is perfectly clear

(9,760 posts)fewer errors?
As for your ax to grind comment, they have no ax to grind for the sake of ax grinding. They find errors in writing objectionable for the very reason they say--that such errors detract from the message, or, at the very least, the ease with which the message is decoded.
I think you're the one with the ax. Grind away to your heart's content, but I'm done with your silly argument.
