For all you spelling pedants! Okay, we all know that the Org is home to some of the worst attrocities ever committed against the English language... and for pedantic geeks like myself, there's nothing more irritating that poor spelling.
So, which commonly mis-spelt word on the Org irritates you the most? I'll get you started: The word is "beginning" and NOT "begining". Thank you. | |

Any time anyone uses "princebonics." That is just bastard talk, and I'm tired of it.
You should give three strikes and auto-ban everyone who uses Princebonics, ian. -------

Much of the 90s Princebonics started with many of his friends (er, fans) from the L4OA days.. It's the way some of them wrote when chatting with him. He dug it, and made it his own.

I thought it had to do with Sly Stone's and George Clinton's "creative" takes on spelling song titles. | |

Oh! Just thought of some:
Your/you're... You're is the contraction for "you are" such as, if I were saying "you are a dumbass" I could say "you're a dumbass." There/their/they're... There a place. "Over there." "Their" ownership. "It's theirs." "They're" the contraction for "they are" such as, instead of "they are dumbasses" I can say "they're dumbasses." -------

"your" vs. "you're" "there" vs. "they're" vs. "their" Those are my least favorite.

I have always been a very good speller, even when I was a little girl. I use to win all of the spelling bee's in school. I was always going home with a star and a candy bar. | |

Your punctuation was lacking and so was your usage of various verb tenses and such though, right? SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

I don't have a spelling complaint, I have a grammar complaint.
There is no such phrase as "would of," "should of," or "could of"... I have a feeling people think those things are spelled the way they hear them phonetically in their heads when they think of the contractions "would've," "should've," and "could've"...of course the other word is "have" not "of," which literally makes no sense. And it's odd, because I've never seen this until I started reading posts on the net. I don't usually correct people when they do it (unless they're on my back about something ). This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Here's one I just remembered: "alterior" instead of "ulterior"...not that I don't understand why people spell it that way, that's the way it sounds. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |
