My issue with grammar is a little different.. my outrage/disbelief is directed towards the fact that we have their / there / they're or to/too/two. What psychotic group of moronic individuals decided that this would be a good idea?

It drives me crazy when people are bothered that someone forgot to turn on their crazy filter in the morning and forgot which version of their they're they are using over there.

Think about a muli-state button on a touchpanel.. lets say that...

Press equals lights on and Press hold equals lights off. Great.. pretty easy to figure out.

But what if press equals lights on and press-hold equals security system armed.

Thats the control system equivalent of what the grammar police have done with words like to and two. So please... for the love of god.. stop policing the forums and start trying to change the language so that its logical. Once the language is logical.. you can use logic to police its use.
