Internet Newswriters don't know their Knows from Their Nose!



Okay guys, I know it's not your fault.  The American school system failed you, but  it's really important to try and get it right.  Here's part of a Nintendo story:

"When the company announced earlier this year it was pumping the breaks on the console..." 


********

WRONG! You can't pump BREAKS.
You can only pump BRAKES!

If I don't see an immediate improvement in the quality of the writing on the various newsfeeds I'm going to tell Trump to put a wall around the internet and make YOU pay for it. 


This is a break.....








but this isn't a break.....it's a brake!





Sorry for the rant. My job depended  on me knowing the difference  between things like breaks and brakes (Homophones) and I'm jealous of the internet writers who have no editors to answer to, and brake/break the rules of how to rite/write/right with know/no consequences! 

Seriously folks, you get your news/gnus from people who don't know/no their/they're knows from their nose!?

In the old days we read newspapers written by literates,
but today we read the internet written by ill-iterates!
