"u", "ur", etc. in posts and even post titles. Nominative case personal pronouns as objects of predicates or prepositions. Inability to conjugate past and present perfect tenses. Writing "should of" for "should've". The list goes on, even though this stuff is taught over and over, for so many years in school. Most often I hear that from the sportscasters on TV, who seem to consistently have these problems, and sometimes I just get fed up. Oh, yeah, TV folks also seem to think they can use "with" as a predicate.

Spent Christmas in Ottawa as the extended family are all still in Europe. Took the kids to see their first NHL game (and our first in season game) as the Sens beat the Penguins 5-0. Was a complete surprise for them and the look on their faces (especially my sons) was fantastic. Well worth keeping it a secret.

Completely unexpected - I might have a new job soon, in a completely different field, starting at 150% of my current pay!
