It's the boo coo that always gets me. Isn't it spelled beaucoup and pronounced boh- COO? I should look it up, but it's late......

It's beaucoup. Sometimes very intelligent and very well educated people who have been the military and have lived in the South like to write boo coo.

On removing peacocks from zoos:

They are also hard on landscaping, digging up flower bulbs along with the squirrels, he said.

Zoos plant squirrels in the landscaping now?

Daily I see all kinds of people write "alot." When will it become common knowledge that "alot" is not a word? "A lot" is the way it's written.

And people writing "advise" when it should be "advice," and many such similar words when a "c" sounds like an "s."
