A kind request

To Whom It May Concern:

Typos and the occasional auto-fill or T-9 errors aside, and assuming English is your first language, please learn the differences and appropriate usage of the following, and comply as soon as is humanly possible, in all communications:

* "your" vs. "you're"
* "their" vs. "they're" vs. "there"
* "its" vs. "it's"
* "whose" vs. "who's"
* "hear" vs. "here"
* "imply" vs. "infer"
* "hers" & "yours" do not have apostrophes

It's a short list, so your immediate attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. You know who you are. And you're killing me.

Sincerest thanks.
