Site’s I love

Who winced at the title? I did when writing it. Trust me there’s a reason. One of the sites I read on a daily basis is Apostrophe Abuse. I especially love when schools and colleges improperly use apostrophies or there/they’re/their. Restaurants seem to be the highest offenders.

Regret the Error is another good one. It seems this site especially targets the high-profile papers and their corrections. It’s amazing to see how many papers mistakenly claim someone is dead, rather than missing or whatever. RtE also writes a plagiarism roundup at the end of the year.

Finally, Passive-Aggressive Notes. Who doesn’t know someone who put up a note in the kitchen urging people to pick up after themselves and reminding them that their mother doesn’t live here? Not all notes are passive-aggressive, though. Some are just plain funny.
