While we're at it, Old Town Alexandria, not Old Towne, nor Olde Towne. It's quaint enough as it is!

May as well rename it Ryan Homes County or Toll Brothers County, since they bought, sold, and decimated the once scenic pidemont landscape with their ugly, mcmansion homes.
Thanks for ruining Loudon.

And a child might lose his loose tooth. I cannot even count the number of people who mix these two words up - it bugs me.

And even though we're not in Maryland, we still get questions about it sometimes - it's Silver Spring (with no "s" at the end) - not Silver Springs.

Isn't advice the noun and advise the verb?

Yeah, that's right, how could they? Those bastards. Forcing their completely useless and undesirable products to people who refused to buy them at gun point! They're like crack dealers.

For that matter, I don't like what their ilk have done to all of this region. Before they built that crappy looking McMansion on 1600 Penn Ave, where no one lives permanently (and where the current renter might be an illegal alien), this area was all bucolic and such. Freakin' developers. Spit!

That is all.
Thank you from a Loudoun resident! Why is it SO difficult for people to spell?
