Do not forget... ALLOT - Which means to give an allowance of something.

You shut your mouth! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

HAHA this is one I see all the time too.

Tomorrow's lesson: To, Too, and Two.

I went back TO get my keys and caught her humping the gardner.

I was TOO pissed for words.

She was a TWO-timing whorebag.


Incorrect usage: I wanted one but the price was to much.

I aint understanding none of these stuff. Your a dunb poop idiot.

I ain't mad about nothing, but this something is not making no sense to me

Does forgetting commas make you pop retarted?

You're gonna loose that girl.... ;)

:thumbsup

LOL

Add this saying to the list too

"I could care less"

and the long and short of it is ..................

Just want to point out that I was at the forefront of scolding people, especially Paul Markham, about this!

fitty...............speeelin lesunns

The ones mentioned hear ;) are pretty obvious.

I'm currently taking a technical writing class and there's a lot of shit I have no clue about.

its the internet, who gives a fuck.. not like people in here are nobel prize winners.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Two things that irk me are your and you're and to and too.

Yeah I know I used and too much.

Don't tell them. It's hilarious when someone's retort is "retart", "your a reetard", etc.

C'mon, that bothers you? Mistakes like that are a diamond dozen.

Though I don't know for sure who speaks English as their native tongue, it certainly seems to me that it's the natives who are sloppy.

Who cares, some say. Well, when you're trying to combine me of your understanding of "the principals of googles algrythm", it does matter whether or not you sound like you know anything. Even if it's not business, something silly like politics, if you criticize "Jon Mcann" people ignore you because it appears that you don't know what you're talking about. It's amazing how often in political posts people don't even get the names right. Why would I believe you know anything about "Romeny" if you don't even know his name?

Here's the thing about that: most people actually know the difference, but, could care less just sounds better; rolls off the tongue easier. It's just commonly accepted that you mean couldn't care less.

It's funny that mostly English native speakers make these mistakes

I was thinking that people that make these mistakes also often lack elocution, so they often write as they say it.

Although strangely, the Scots in here don't write "I should a..." so, maybe it's simply education.

Or education and elocution.

Wrather, linse, repeet.

It's times like this i wish there were <stab></stab> tags in html.

On accident?
By accident?

Nice try...

cross sells - wrong
cross sales - correct

Eric I worry about you.

horde/hoard
president/precedent
capitol/capital (The capitol is the building)

It's got to the point I notice the correct spelling of some words as a typo because it's so unusual.

HERE!!

Not hear.

Fuck!

That's funnay!

the funny part is that nobel prize winners aren't any better at grammar than the rest of us. They just paid people to edit THEIR shit ;)

I'll admit some grammar issues that are constantly repeated wrong bug me a bit too, but when people call people out on it to try to strengthen their position in an argument is pretty sad--so that should be noted here as well.

:) good lesson.

me, not my

:upsidedow

Bad grammar doesn't bother me in the least. Your spelling isn't an exact sign of your success since plenty of successful people are bad spellers. The content of what you say is what matters.

I had this same conversation with my girlfriend recently. She's a complete grammar Nazi and feels that if you misspell anything in a debate then you completely lose the debate. As far as she's concerned you could be the president of the USA speaking to a 10 yr child and if you misspell a single word then the child wins the debate. I find that level of grammar Nazism to be stupid.

I speak fluent English, Italian and can get by in Spanish. I was born in the US but technically Italian was my 1st language and I still sometimes think in Italian and then translate to English. But for the most part I just think and speak in English since I am actually American.

I would rather be a bad speller but speak 3 languages well than a great speller that only speaks 1 language.

Allot of the time Im thinking about fucking you're lose mom and shotting my cream in her. My friend did and said he should of known better because know she is pregnant and is to big to do any thing. Pour guy.

Oh well, I guess it's not so bad two be number too.

vBulletin should develop an auto correct plugin or make it compulsory for users to have a spellchecker/grammar plugin installed on Firefox or Chrome

SimonSays that image is hilarious! :1orglaugh

exactly, as long as you are communicating your point across clearly grammar and spelling are pretty moot--not to mention both those are constantly evolving as language always has. If perfect grammar and spelling were that important editors would be getting all the credit for their brilliance rather than the authors. ;)
