I am now wholeheartedly in favour of legalising marijuana - in edible form only, while possibly increasing severity of penalty for smoking it, or something.
Because the only problem I actually have with pot, as a concept, is the "smoking". I am sick of, and genuinely nastily sickened by, second-hand smoke. Marijuana can be taken in food form. This brings it back into the category of "not hurting anyone else".
(Because someone else's right to smoke (anything) seriously ends, imo, when it conflicts with my right NOT TO.)

I try not to be an intellectual snob about grammar. There are some grammatical concepts I acknowledge are difficult for some people, especially if they're writing in haste, and homophones can trip people up even if they do know which is which, and some people find apostrophes tricky, and so on.
However.
If someone is making somewhat sneering remarks about the literary merits of different books, and has used as phrase as insufferable as "entertainingly competent" to dismiss an author (particularly one I like), but in the same blog post uses the construction "her's"?
My sneering superiority will be manifest. Because you've set yourself up for that. And because that's never a correct usage.
