So true

 Grammar, some of us have it some don't.  It's tricky sometimes to know the difference between its/it's, to/too and so forth. 

I must admit, I still have trouble with affect/effect. The link is a funny, somewhat NSFW, look at common grammar missteps.

Dog barking

Re: YOUR DOG’S BARKING

Dear Village Neighbor,

We have been patient; we have waited, hoping you might take action on your own.  Obviously you have no interest in curtailing your dog’s incessant barking.

As we live two blocks away and can clearly hear the constant barking, surely you are cognizant of your dog’s barking in your own backyard?

We’ll be brief.  Please take immediate action to eliminate the barking.  We have provided several local dog training businesses and their contact information.  At the very least, you could purchase a bark controller; again, we have provided a product below.

Don’t you feel bad that we have done more work to train YOUR dog than you have?

This will be the last communication from us on this matter.  We trust you agree with us that this letter is sufficient.

Great letter!

The above link displays a rant that makes us at Consumer's Revenge blush!  Well-written, funny and yet effective all at the same time.

Anyone had similar troubles?  Let us know in the comments.
