    Your "try me" text box should say "eg. tomorrow at 6am". "ie." means "that is" (as in "restating...") "eg." means "example".

    It's necessary. It makes the "s" in "hotels" optional, so that the regex can match either "hotel" or "hotels" and then the rest.

    This title is really difficult to parse as it is: "Induction powered LED lit engagement ring" mostly because it should be: "Induction-powered, LED-lit engagement ring"

    In his title, he needs to use "It's" as a contraction of "It Has". "its" is the possessive for "belonging to it" -- always.

    "Create an Account Now It's free, sign up in 60 seconds" Here's a free grammar correction for that comma splice: "Create an Account Now It's free. Sign up in 60 seconds"

    "Module's are where it's at"? Grammar much? And don't get me started on "login with X, Y, Z". As a verb, it's "log in". YC has it wrong also.
