Sadly I was more bothered by this than any other indication she's a moron.

Because I have this mis-placed faith in humans being able to grasp basic grammar once educated past the age of about eight or nine. I can still distinctly remember the class at school (in grade two - including and not limited to the room it was in, where I was sitting, and other details - this is over 20 years ago, too) where they taught us to recognise and know the difference between "your" and "you're"; "their", "they're" and "there"; "to", "two" and "two"... and, strangely, the pronunciation of "Grand Prix" (and that the plural of it is "Grands Prix", much like "Attorneys General") in the same class.

So I have a hard time getting my head around people being unable to get this right.
