Most who know me well know that one of my quirks is that I won't patronize an establishment with a misspelled word in its title. You won't see me stopping at the Kountry Kitchen or buying a tastee deelite. I make only the occasional exception.

My worst pet peeve is the misplaced apostrophe. My coworkers laugh at my aversion to a roadside sign advertising "peanut's" for sale. It's not like this is complex grammar. It's elementary, and it's something we should all be able to do properly.
