This morning I was listening to CNN out of the corner of my ear as they reported on Donald Trump attending church services.  A reporter named John Zeleny said the following:

I know I really shouldn't be suprised by the piss-poor writing and language skills of our population, but this is ridiculous! I lifted this off a message board:

While at Becky’s site, I noticed this post about Amrhein's, a restaurant in Boston (I'm just guessing on the use of the apostrophe in their name; the site's author used Amrhein's and Amrheins. Then I followed the link to the restaurant’s web site. Here are some samples of the site’s author’s grammatical skills. I just couldn't resist:
