| A grammar nazi is at it again. I have seen expo being used as an abbreviation for exhibition. There is no p in exhibition! Expo can been used for exposition, not exhibition! The World's Fair is an expo. A barrel race has exhbs or even exb, but not expos! My rant for the day. Thank you! |

Location: North Dakota | I agree 100% There really are SO MANY I see on a regular basis. It's/its, their/there/they're, your/you're, excessive ........ and no other punctuation, sell/sale, using single quotations when you should use double, definitely/defiantly, I could care less/I couldn't care less. I could go on.

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew. |

I've always called it Exhibitions and seems Expos is something newer? Or maybe northern? New owner at a local arena are now doing Expos and I have a friend from Michigan that says Expos...but I've never asked her why. :)
There is a neighborhood around here where are the streets are named something along the lines of -- Fox Hunt Trail, Kentucky Derby Lane, Silver Spur Lane, Grand National Boulevard..................and then BRIDAL Trail.  |

| I moved to Oregon from Texas and here they call them "time only's" but yet, they don't time them....so screwed up! Every time I say "I'd like 2 exhibitions", they look at me like I'm crazy and have no clue what I'm asking for! |
