they'd have gone from being simply grammatically incorrect to having incomplete sentences. if one means the doctor's office, then one should say that... leaving off the end of the sentence doesn't make the grammar any better.

but then, i am sure i say things that are annoying to some, no one is perfect… heck, i make all journal posts in lowercase.. it's structurally wrong and it drives some people crazy!

But, well, we all have our peeves.

Unless you're going to see the Nasty Doctor (as we called the game as children.)

Sorry - I don't know where my mind is at, tonight!
