1. We got an email at work from someone we had planned to meet with, saying that she was postponing the meeting because of the possible traffic delays caused by the Patriots Rolling Rally Victory Parade Extravaganza. The email closed with the sentence, "I hope this does not cause you any incontinence."

2. Dear The Internet: Y-O-U-R and T-H-E-I-R are the possessives. These are the words you use when "you" or "they" possess something. If "you" or "they" *are* something, please use Y-O-U-'-R-E or T-H-E-Y-'-R-E. I know that the apostrophe usually signifies possession, but it's different with pronouns. Try to keep up.

P.S. "Prejudice" is a word, but it's not used the way you think. You can not tell someone that they are "Prejudice" unless they are a little-known Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse.
