Hubby and I have had endless discussions about Nordstrom because he mantains that it could work because Nordstrom is the name of a person. It is Nordstrom's store. He's just playing devil's advocate because I know he agrees with me but it gets me riled up every time he brings it up all over again!

The store is called TARGET – not TAR-JAY. Enough said.

OHMYGOSH!! Mind reader!! My parents are the WORST offenders of this. And you can’t correct your parents, so, it’s a total nightmare! Their favorite: Best BuyS. Not Best Buy, Best Buys! The same goes for Barnes & NobleS. And, this just to add to my rant, my step mom cannot pronounce Jamba Juice. How does she say it, you may ask? JAM-(as in jam and jelly)-BO Juice. Occasionally she’ll get close with JAM-Ba, but, it’s always a hard A sound. Drives me crazy.

I’m done now.

I am TOTALLY with you on this rant. I absolutely hate grammatical errors of any kind and have been known as the Red Pen Nazi in our office. I get sent everything to proofread! I think I must have inherited this trait from my English teaching mother!!
