Just trying to get rid of this "to-often" written abomination

Too often, "too often" is written as "to-often"

Don’t even try to correct spelling or grammar around here

English is a lovely language

  I've learnt so much English in these very same forums, for the good, and for the bad, either from natives not very careful speakers-writers as well as non natives speaking-writing very good (or very bad) English. People's mistakes also help to learn when you spot them according to the grammar you've studied, as well as many idioms and expressions I wasn't aware of and people use daily.  These forums are a gem for that, so, not only don't try to correct people, please, don't correct everything neither  .

I've learned several meanings of "two weeks". In German it only means 14 days

Actually the title: “There are no "E"'s in Caucasus“ would correctly be written without the apostrophe before the s 

‘s is possessive as in “Wag’s map”. The meaning there is plural as in “DCS maps”

At first sight of this the pedantry made me chuckle .

Being a lifelong sazzy bassa and an English pedant myself I have to point out the ‘Eagle Dynamic’s Map’ should have no apostrophe at all. Written as it is would mean ‘Eagle Dynamic is Map’ which just isn’t right .

Oh my bad. It would be Eagle Dynamics’ map since Dynamics is plural. Corrected to Wag’s map.

Even better. It’s = contraction of “it is”. 
its = the possessive of “it”

So it’s an aircraft that carries bombs under its wings

Indeed. It is
