While annoying, I have to ask something. If you see a wrong in this world, should you correct it? Should "someone" correct it??
Someone starts using improper grammar, poor choice of words, bad math, etc., and after a while, other folks may tend towards picking up the wrong information. Maybe it's just lazy writing, like abbreviating, or skipping punctuation. The fact is, we are all swayed by what we see, hear, touch, smell, and experience every day. So if we simply allow wrongs to exist and persist, then we must certainly be making it possible for others to pick up on these bad habits.
On the other hand, some people are really poor when it comes to grammar, some with math, some with simply making a complete sentence or getting out more than, "Ugh!". Some people are good at sports, some at music, some at grammar. Some people are good at law enforcement, or fire fighting, or farming. Should we "fix" people who want to make small corrections in our everyday world?
Why not go after the part of the brain in folks who write or speak lazy? Why go after the correcting mind instead? Where's that going to lead our society and future generations? And what will it mean when we ALL are all alike, all good at some things while no good at others, and everyone the same?
Now, all that said, at least now I can go around telling folks that I have built-in GPS. ...Is it "my" fault they won't know it stands for Grammatical Pedantry Syndrome?
And about that bag of apples for $2.49 -- first of all, what's wrong with that? Is slang not allowed?? And secondly, where the heck are they to be paying only $2.49 for a bag of apples?!?!? I WANNA KNOW!!

Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
