Whatever happened to respect for the English language... *sigh*

[diva_urd]

So, this week, I have finally learned that there seems to be no stratum of society in which the English language is respected anymore

yeah my other favorite in this state is "do what now?" and "warsh". I love how people have no respect for spelling either

Apostrophes? Imagine shop owners in a foreign country (i. e. Germany) who desperately want to sound cool but have no higher IQ than the pavement in front of their stores. Results in "Nina's Nail Design" (and imagine what those people can do to such simple words as "Nail Design"...) or "Susi's Tiershop" or even "Bahnhof’s-Restaurant" or "Job's"... Try www.apostroph.de if you want goosebumps.

The only excuse (which I have to use sometimes, too ;) ) is it's not their native language (and thanks to the Rechtschreibreform a few years ago and/or stupidity/laziness a lot of people aren't able to write their own language properly, either). But if you name your business/restaurant/shop/whatever, the thing you have to live off - shouldn't you do it properly?
