I personally like them.

It kinda grinds my gears a bit when i read won't written as wont, i mean you're bringing the words will not down two four letters how hard is it to add an apostrophe!

--edit--
damn you strawberry for typing faster than me! xox <-- does the o in these things mean hug does anyone know?

Well it's ok You explained the apostrophes better than me.

I think X means hug and o means kiss.... Or o means hugs and x means kiss

[lucky]

well I skip ' every time. In other posts I never notice the difference, its a common thing. I think it is a good point, no one thought about. But dont worry no one will. (or I am not speaking English as native language I dont know how others would see it)

Intentionally skipped ' in this post three times.

In fact the sense of the post is important. Then the words, to at least suggest there was an unintentionally mistake.

Still no one mentioned anything about the correct placement of '

LittleStrawberry, An X and O from me!

Oh it's nothing that would get me to say anything to a poster about however privately, in my own head, i want to smash their keyboard over their head!

its is a possessive pronoun so your sentence reads "I never notice the difference, [it belongs to] a common thing.

rather than

I never notice the difference, [it is] a common thing.

Anyway enough if my ranting.

Maybe it should be locked, it's original purpose is now served with the implementation of rule 5.

--edit--
this is my 229th post intesting things about the number 229 according to wiki
"229 is a regular prime, a long prime, a twin prime (with 227), a cousin prime, and a sexy prime. 229 is also a prime triplet (with 227 and 233)."
