Why are people in love with the letter S?

[topmonkeygirl]

I listen to folks of all walks of life talk all day, every day, for my job, and adding an "S" to words is becoming more and more common. We have Lane Avenue and Dunn Avenue in our town, and more and more refer to it as Lanes Avenue and Dunns Avenue.

Lane"s" ave was my neck of the woods for 40 years until I move to St Augustine"s". Hi neighbor.

It bugs me also to see the english language get butchered like it does. It's not only adding an s at the end of a place, but also when people don't know which word to use. People use than when then should be used, or don't know the difference between to, too, and two. I try hard to use proper grammer and spelling but sometimes my brain is faster than I can write or type so I do understand some mistakes. I think a lot of the time people just don't care, if it's wrong it's wrong.

I can't believe no one has brought up the misspelling of dessert....I had chocolate cake for desert...that one makes me laugh!

What I want to know is why reservations are abbreviated as "ressie". It's like visual nails on a chalkboard.

Or abbreviating Cinderella to Cindy? Like they were BFF in HS?

What? You mean y'all don't make ressies at Cindy's for appies and 'serts?

I have just noticed that this thread is four years old.

Doesn't really add anything to planning or discussion of restaurants so I'm going to close it.
