...You did not mean a plural, you stinky old fart. <br /><br />"Eyesores" days are numbered.<br /><br />What you meant is a possessive singular form: "Eyesore's" days are numbered"". <br /><br />So before you jump on people's capitalization and punctuation issued, get your own shit right. <br /><br />Plus, internet is not a place for punctuation. Neither is your half-wit blog. If you wanted to be a grammar nazi, you should have considered an ACTUAL journalistic career in a print news paper.
