1) Ok, now there are two prime spots for Chik-fil-a OR Baja to make a move into NYC. Next time (probs this weekend or next) I’m at Baja in Lake Success, I’m bringing this up to the owner/manager.

2) My last boss is on a one-woman mission against the improper usage of its and it’s. Zach, this is the rule I drilled in my brain on my 2nd day: “if you can replace the word with “it is” or “it has,” use it’s. Otherwise, it’s always its.”

With you, Cait, with you.

Amazing, that “litter on the tracks” sentence! That poor period must feel so low and lonely…

Crackhead, you get off with a warning.

Heck, I don’t care about grammar on a blog or a message board or anywhere else that is about instantaneous expression. When someone has paid for an advertisement product or a PR campaign, however, and the thing went through multiple sets of eyes and rounds of approval and you still get stuff like this MTA sign, it makes my hackles go up.

Hmm, I thought the i-burritos sucked, but their salads were very good and their lasagna freakin’ rocked. The sweetheart guy who doled it out always made a bunch of basil-ly, garlic-ky sauce-y goodness to ladel on top, too.

(for the avoidance of doubt, my (i) profligate use of dashes is meant to tweak the grammar police and (ii) inane description of the lasagna as “freakin’ rocked” is meant to tweak Rudy McB.)

You knew closing was inevitable when every morning you walked by the place, a guy was handing out coupons for a bacon/egg/cheese sandwich and cup of coffee for $2. I did it once and after waiting a good 15 minutes for them to assemble an egg sandwich I returned to my usual place which gets me in and out in 3 minutes.

the apostrophe is used to indicate the possessive (Tony’s burrito) but it is not used with pronouns (Tony ate his last burrito)

sorry to be a grammar cop, but sometimes apostrophes just scream at me.

“Its” is the neuter form of “his” or “hers”, so no apostrophe…
