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.

Progressives are supposed to be educated enough to know the difference between you are = you're and your post.

Note also: there, they're, their.

Pray that we are not as ignorant as the FreeRepublic posters.

37. Why does correct spelling matter?

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.

No axe to grind their there.

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

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.
