I work for an attorney who prefers "towards." I always thought toward was the correct usage. After he insisted contintually that he wanted to use "towards" I did some research. It is perfectly correct to use towards. And he doesn't sound ignorant at all.

In the legal world, it may be acceptable. In the journalism world (from which I hail), it is not.

Either way, I think it sounds ignorant ... simply b/c there is no use for the 's' at the end.

I don't find that funny at all. It's horrible that you would insinuate such a thing.
