Saw that it is National Grammar Day and they showed some horrendous errors by nationally known companies, celebrities, and of course our most famous expounder of the way to talk bad...the president.

the example I saw that struck me was Starbucks Coffee. It should be Starbuck's Coffee as it is named after the first mate in Moby Dick and is thus possesive.

6/10. So much for my language skills! Always was better in art and science.

Btw, I already knew that "irregardless" wasn't really a word.
