Must be a trend. I saw on a sports station where they used the wrong form of “their/there/they’re.”

That’s hilarious! At least he wasn’t using text messaging, abbreviated language. Thanks for sharing Peter, we’ve got to laugh at ourselves sometimes, and then realize that most programs have spell check button.
