$75 for a reflector plug-in? Pricey. So is the others.

Hyah hyah hyah, Dan... (Evil laugh)
> the powerful business leaders of the U.S. decided in the 80's
Who's 80? 80's what?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
If you want to be picky with grammar and spelling, you should write "'80s" instead of "80's"! The apostrophe is used for omissions. There's no omission between "80" and the plural "s" when used to describe a decade. The apostrophe goes before "8" because the number "19" have been omitted.
"Impactful" is a word that gets thrown at me on a regular basis. "Make the cuts more impactful."

The new one, apparently, is "learnings." Like as a synonym for "lessons." I guess "lessons" fell out of favor because it sounds too confrontational or some crap.
As long as you don't say "breath" instead of "breathe," Joey, you're still all right by me.

Hate to out pendant you, but it's 'whose 80s.' Not who's.
OK, I don't really hate it.

No, it's not. I was writing "Who's 80?" as a joke -- "Who is 80?". By writing "80's", Dan was grammatically implying that "80" was a person, and "80's" would be a possessive. "Genitive" case in German or Latin.
If one were to write "80" as a plural noun -- for example, if there were an "eighty-dollar bill" -- then it would also be "Do you have two $80s for eight $20s?"

Whether it gets closed down or not...I can still delete your post, harry
Now I know why it takes our Legal Department 2 weeks to approve a single spot. It is filled with Word Police like you crazy people. Better them than me.

lol OK. Derek. You win that round. Harry, that was a deliberate draw for the *real* grammar Nazis 
I also vote for loose/lose, too/to, there/their/they're, and Featherstonehough, which is pronounced Fan Shaw, which is just dumb.
