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."


nod & "lose" vs. "loose" - those are constant on the Org & SO irritating :X All of it's bad but I really hate it when something in the thread title is incorrect & I have to decipher the shit whofarted Why the hell should I click on that?? evil

People need to preview & proofread reading

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.


lol Thank you!

Well I'm feeling generous today, so I'll even forgive regional variations, such as the American tendency to misspell certain words to make things a bit easier for them. That's fine.

It's the undeniable spelling errors that make me quake with rage and attack cuddly toys with a scissors! Wait, I've said too much.
