I was just watching a trial where the attorney kep on saying years as two thousand AND eleven, two thousand AND fourteen.  It drives me bananas.  Isn't is supposed to just be two thousand fourteen here in the US?!

Unrelated, but not. . . My sister was talking about people with "Old timers" the other night.  Thanks, it's Alzheimers. . . . and she works in a rehab facility for the elderly!!!!!

    It's 2014 and I just discovered there is a municipality in my area that does not have a website. At all.

    You call and leave a message on an honest-to-God old-fashioned answering machine (like, a physical one, not even a digital mailbox), or you can e-mail them, but they have no office hours, no staff, and no website.

    My FI is very passionate about Alzheimer's. His dear grandmother suffered it and did not remember him - any movie that refers to it becomes an absolute favorite with many tears.

    However, he calls it Old Timers no matter how many times I correct him!

    And yes, on wedding invitations, you're supposed to write two thousand fourteen if you're writing the year.

    It's 2014 and someone in my office refuses to use track changes in Microsoft Word for edits. I have to edit 4 entire life insurance product books and this person makes the edits by hand and then gives them to me. If he had nice, legible handwriting I wouldn't care. But his handwriting is chicken scratch. I seriously think he must have his pet chicken do his edits for him. It takes me double the time to make the edits because half the time is spent trying to decipher the damn thing!!!

    >_<

    I forgive typos and even the odd grammar mistake in casual written communications. (This is me trying to be laid back). However, if you can't get it right in professional correspondence, I want to reach through the computer and smack you.

    I grind my teeth, clench my fists, and want to shake anyone who types in incomplete sentences or using text-speak. I have zero tolerance. I tried to get over it when I first met FI's son but lost my composure over "where are youse guys gonna go" - now I'm the household grammar police. Though it worked out- he catches himself when crap like that starts tumbling out of his mouth!

    Oh- and I work for a national technology start-up. There are 3 of us and one person can't figure out  or Outlook invitations to save her life. *sigh
