Do you cats care?

 

[Black-Balled]

It is a bubbalushkushka.

Probably worth 10k to the right collector.

 

[David in FL]

Yep.

Along with to, too, and two, and there, their, and they’re.

Don‘t get me started on “I could care less“ or “irregardless”…

 

[chefjeff]

It's not cats caring, it's felines feeling.

Your welcome, (sic) They're, don't you fell better know?

An emphatic yes from me.

 

[Korsakoff]

Drives me crazy. Oh, add comma splices to the list.

Do you cats care?

Add break and brake to the list... None of these are that big of a deal, but my mom was an English teacher. They do jump out at me and I hear her "correcting"...

 

[Wolven]

Do you cats care?

No, my cats don't care

 

[chefjeff]

Add break and brake to the list... None of these are that big of a deal, but my mom was an English teacher. They do jump out at me and I hear her "correcting"...

Uh, I hate to say this but it should be "...none of these IS that big of a deal..."

Say 'hi' to your Mom.

[Biloxi Boy]

No, my cats don't care

"you" cats not "your" cats.

 

[Wolven]

"you" cats not "your" cats.

I know, but my way is funny.

It is the word "none" in "none of these" that may make it singular. I think none plays on both teams and can be used as "not one" or "not any" and traditionally can be singular or plural.

Drives me nuts. Most hardcore texter's haven't read two books in their whole life. I call 'em 'language butchers'.
