Welcome To Crustybeef~
Thanks for the feedback!!
I love feedback, and I'm not offended by feedback so long as it's done tactfully and gracefully.
Now, pardon me, I need to go learn the differences in a written format. :)

That was a hard one for me to learn as well. I had a horrible drama where I corrected another blogger and now I just don't do it anymore even if people say it is ok. It's just not worth it. Most people aren't blogging to become better writers in terms of grammar usage. They just want a release and a way to connect with others.
We lose a lot by conversing in written form. We don't have visual cues or vocal tones to guide us.
I truly hope you weren't offended. I'm sure they meant well. If you are interested in learning better grammar then I would recommend the classic: Strunk & White's "Elements of Style". Believe it or not, it's actuallly entertaining.
I also keep "The Gregg Reference Manual" by William Sabin at my desk.

I get mixed up on when to use 'it's' and 'its'. Also when to capitalize Mom and Dad. I'm good on the words 'a lot'.
