Shane Marshall Brown, He Who Has Three Names, sent to me a link to a New York Times article about self-appointed Twitter scolds. I love it.
Even though I usually give people a pass for Facebook and Twitter, I’m happy to see others carrying the torch for proper grammar and punctuation.
I wonder if they noticed the Deen Brothers’ tweet with the incorrect apostrophe:
Meanwhile, I’m still busy with loathsome words such as “partner.” Here it is, offending me from behind a glass enclosure at Memorial Health University Medical Center.
Why can’t they just join Memorial? Or be listed as co-sponsors? Or just have the logos without text? Sigh.
Observe and report 
i would like to add that the kerning is atrocious

What am I missing here? Is this improper, or do you just not like the usage as a verb?

I just don’t like “partner” as a verb. It is becoming more and more prevalent, but I prefer it as a noun. See related post: http://eatsshootsandlays.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/words-i-hate/
