Bob Trane suing The Somerville Journal

A friend e-mailed me this. It seems rather odd and childish. Bob Trane is suing the Somerville Journal over a cartoon? In my opinion, it does not send a good message about Trane, frankly. Comments?

Yeah, I didn't mention the two counts of egregious mis-use of "it's"; that's only a misdemeanor, after all. ;-) But it is especially funny given the single correct use, proving that whoever wrote it at least knows of the existence of "its".

Is the improper use of "it's" only a misdemeanor now?

Yeah, it was decriminalized about a year ago. The fines are pretty hefty, though, and of course the points add up. Whoever wrote that press release is pretty close to getting their fingers revoked.
