We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules
For God's sake….more than one “doe” is “does”……with a “s”

Agreed , I have a buddy that says I had 5 doe come by & it makes my brain hurt!
I can't imagine going through life worrying about something like that on the internet. I just assume we're all equally dumb 
In person it bugs me I don’t care about the web…….
Both are acceptable.
It can still be annoying.
But yes, bad grammar and spelling are rappellant…

Yeah. It's stupid and I hate myself for it but stuff like that or "repelling gear" kills me. I've worked at a job where written communication is my bread and butter for about 5 years now, 3 at a university. I take the CIA World Factbook claim that we have a 99% literacy rate with a grain of salt.

Did you know the plural of fish is fish when referring to fish of the same species, but when referring to fish of different species together, the plural is fishes. For example, pool full of brook trout, “look at all those fish”. Poster that the PA fish and game puts out of all the different species of Pennsylvania fish, the header says Pennsylvania fishes. Which is how I learned this fun fact.

I'm not worried. More concerned that people are ok with stupidity.

If you are referring to multiple of us it’s dumbs...I can't imagine going through life worrying about something like that on the internet. I just assume we're all equally dumb
By far my favorite plural for animals is a murmuration of starlings. Both to say and to watch

Plural of deer is deers but you don’t hear anyone saying that either. Not really something to “rant” about. There is plenty of informal vernacular that doesn’t abide by our oh so confusion english rules.
You know we already have rant thread made specifically for these type things. It’s called the curmudgeon thread. Sounds like it would be your cup of tea.

Not as good as an unkindness of ravens.
