"Your" and "you're" -- hands down.

Your = indicates ownership.

You're = is a contraction of you and are.

You can get away with misspelling this on an internet board; however, in most other situations it makes you look like you skipped fifth grade grammar.

"ridiculous" and "diffuse"

That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure I'll be back to edit this post after spending a few more minutes here today.

EDIT:

This is more of a confusion thing, but I see "hoard" and "horde" misused constantly here.

Many people use "loose" when they mean "lose."

This is easy.

They're. Their. There.

Hands down.

Lots of present participle problems.

"Bathe" somehow becomes "batheing", when it should be "bathing".

It simply amazes me how bad people are at spelling and basic grammar.

"Douche" commonly gets spelled as "AROCK".

Here's a couple I see quite often:

They used there old ammo first. ---> should be ---> They used their old ammo first.
There going to the range. ---> should be ---> They're going to the range.

Gun for sell ---> should be ---> Gun for sale.
I will sale it for less. ---> should be ---> I will sell it for less.

That ammo costs to much. ---> should be ---> That ammo costs too much.
I will buy some to. ---> should be ---> I will buy some too.

Without a doubt, the words 'definitely' and 'a lot' are constantly misspelled, not only here but also on any message board you care to look at.

Some people commonly spell AR-15 as AK47 when asked what a reliable rifle is.

I see a lot of people type "breath" when they mean "breathe" (Remember, a "breath" is what you take when you "breathe")

And I believe I recently ranted on the topic of "quiet" spelled "quite".

Posted: 8/15/2007 6:37:00 AM EDT

Lots of improper use of apostrophes as well.

Oh look I took a group picture of you all.

It's the internet not your term paper. I chicken type so sometimes I fat finger stuff, sometimes I fix it some times I don't, I hate when a thread goes off topic and turns into a Ms. English grammer discussion.

Quite....as in: "That's a quite silencer"

The word is quiet.

Quoted:

The word is quiet.

What about, "that's quite a silencer, is it quiet?"?

BTW, that isn't a spelling issue.

I think it is prolly, instead of probably.

Or the whole loose, lose thing.

A lot of people use the word "And" when they meant "An". Example "Your and idiot!". It also really amuses me when I see someone calling someone else "Retarted".

Hey, get a brain, MORAN!

Haha, I saw the funniest thing ever written on the side of someone's car. It said, and I quote, "YOUR RETARTED."
Wrong your/you're and spelled retarded wrong.

Alot is not a word.

It's 'a lot' for chrissakes.

The word "site" instead of "sight", e.g. iron sights, optical sights, back-up sights, etc. This bugs me the most since this is a gun forum website. How dumb can you be?

The Latin abbreviation ect. instead of etc., i.e. et cetera.
