I already know the definition of "except". I was really just posting that because I know that SOME PEOPLE apparantly do not know what the word means.
And of course, the OPPOSITE of except would be "including"

The 's is the one that always makes me cringe.
That, and saying there instead of they're.
It drives me nuts.

I even know the difference between will and shall, can and may, and who and whom.
