Your approved!

Out on the highway we saw a big sign over a used car lot.   It said "Your approved."   Now let's not be snobby but come on, that is just wrong.   The word "your" and the "you're" are different words.   "Your" is an adjective that describes something relating to you. "You're" is a contraction of "you" and "are."   It is not that complicated.   I think that a sign printer should at least have a grammar checker on a laptop or a basic working knowledge of our language.

And... how about all the other stupid stuff in our language.   It seems that a lot of it is creeping into general usage.  Some of it works and some of it sounds weird.   The overhead announcement at Wally World said "Wearing our jeans, you will be representing." Uh, representing what?  That was it, just "representing."  What is that?   Since when does the Colonel "do" chicken?   "Do" as a verb meant something else in starting the 60's.   "Virtual" had another, different meaning too but I don't remember what it was.   "Actually" is now all over the place.   The guys on "This Old House" use it in every other sentence.  "Soul Patch" is pretty unusual.  My dad had a different word for that little beard right beneath your lip.  If anybody uses "axe" in place of "ask" I either hang up or turn away.   I am afraid to type more about that, it may be illegal.  "Unibrow" is discriptive.  "Ba dunk a dunk" seems to be a long way to go for "butt."  I like "application"  but using "yo" at the end of a sentence, not so much.    More incidences of "or", "our" and "are" transpositions have begun to show up.  Nobody seems to know how to spell on any internet forum.   The word "definitely"  gets butchered all the time.   "Too", "two" and "to" is also often abused.

Our library here in town featured an opportunity to have your photo taken and travel document application printed for free.  Somebody had removed the letter "p" and differently spaced their marquee sign.   It now read "ass port night, we take photos."  Yesterday I was in a men's room and saw that somebody had altered an obscenity written on the wall.   We are in Amish Country so it shouldn't have been too surprising.  They had carefully converted the word "F**K" to "BOOK."   How about that?

Let's not even discuss prepositions.   They are bad things to end sentences with.

We can skip apostrophe abuse too.
