"People's", huh? That's not ****ing English you retards. Ever heard the saying people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Ever seen 'people's' written in a book? No, of course you f'ing haven't. Get a clue before correcting other people.
Actually(,) he means 'I can't stand it when people spell badly', 'people' cannot possess something in the literal sense(;) hence(,) there's no "people's" in the English language. Besides, to the guy who said 'we forgive him'...(,) WTF(?)2 spelling mistakes in one topic is too much for you? Fook, I'm glad I write and spell perfectly, lest I suffer your wrath.
WTF is going on here(;) I spelled perfectly all my life, yet I don't feel a need to correct people on the internet (deleted unnecessary comma) even though every spelling error sticks out to me like a brunette at the playboy mansion.
Get lives you pedantic halfwits.
BTW, excuse my rant(;) I just got back from the pub(,) and I'm off my head(.)(Y)et(,) look! My posts are still spelled, punctuated and gramatically (grammatically*) perfect! Yay!

2) No, you don't use proper punctuation. Check out all your mistakes, and I didn't even bother with your raping of quotes.
You're being just as elitist as everyone else, and you have no right to be talking like everyone else.

People

For other uses of this term, see People (disambiguation)
The English noun people has two distinct fields of application:
as a countable noun, a group of humans, either with unspecified traits, or specific characteristics (e.g. the people of Spain or the people of the Plains).
as a mass noun, people is the suppletive plural of person. However, the word persons is sometimes used in place of people, especially when it would be ambiguous with its collective sense (e.g. missing persons instead of missing people). It can collectively refer to all humans or it can be used to identify a certain ethnic or religious group. For example, "people of color" is a phrase used in North America.
People is a word that has a possessive, "people's." WTF is so difficult to comprehend about that? My Wikipedia examples were correct uses of the English language. You're wrong and so is your shitfaced Brit buddy. Admit it.
If my thoughts are starting to resemble shit, you're starting to resemble stupid.

NO WHERE did I say that you pointing him out was wrong, I noticed his errors as well. I should also point out that he is not my buddy.
Are we really going to use a damn wikipedia entry as solid proof here?

^ IDIOT.
You were the first person to mention anything about the spelling. If you are going to bring it to our attention than you should make sure you aren't making any mistakes while doing so. Get over it already, it's the internet. There are going to be abbreviations, acronyms, slang, misspelled words and all types of other sh!t. If you're losing sleep over it, than become a teacher. Otherwise, shut up about spelling and grammar and blah blah blah on the internet.

Did I make a spelling error or a punctuation error? The word is clearly spelled correctly, so again its punctuation.

You just asked me where the mistake was in your post and called me an idiot. Then you said that you made a punctuation mistake. So I'm confused whether I'm the IDIOT or you're the IDIOT.
Is it a spelling error or punctuation?
Find "People's" in the dictionary (not wikipedia) showing the appropriate definition next to it as it is being used in this situation.

"I absolutely cannot stand it when peoples spelling is this bad."
While the apostrophe is a piece of punctuation, it impacts the meaning behind the word.
Besides, the particular meaning of what you said (if you had spelled/punctuated it properly) implies a specific group of "peoples" who possess something.
A better way of saying this would have been: "I absolutely cannot stand it when someone's spelling is this bad." OR, preferably: "I absolutely cannot stand it when someone spells this badly."
Now, that being said... who the **** cares?
You won't catch me saying "people's," but I don't see any reason why it cannot be a word. "Peoples," in the way in which you used it, is incorrect.
Now, how did all of you get your panties in a twist again?

[QUOTE=DICTIONARY.com]Usage note:
People is usually followed by a plural verb and referred to by a plural pronoun: People are always looking for a bargain. The people have made their choice. The possessive is formed regularly, with the apostrophe before the -s: people's desire for a bargain; the people's choice. When people means
