What? As far as you are an illegally-obtained piece of software? As far as you are a piece of pottery? As far as you are an ethnic native of Tanzania? As far as you are a small town in Hertfordshire? No, dear boy. You are aware. Or rather, you ain't.

Ah yes but that's an easily made typo. I do em all the time, extra spaces or extra letters in words that my fingers hit and i don't catch before i send. Quite often my apostrophes land on the outside of words because my fingers go faster than my brain.
Oh, my one of the things, aside from the apostrophes used wrong (not misplaced ones like typing too fast, i.e. dont') is the phrase (or similar) "I should of" instead of "should have", the misuse of "of" instead of "have". My God it looks awful! it might sound like that when you are probably, in fact, using the abbreviation (i.e.) "should've" but it isn't "of". grrr...
I think at won tyme I was a ware, but it was in the erly seventys, and i think I lived threw it.

Ghannannghghghh!
