Quoted: Actually, the one that bugs me the most is "sale". Not that it's spelled wrong, but when some goofball says something like "yes, I will sale you my rifle for $XXX" it drives me absolutely batshit crazy. Oh man me too. I don't understand how people don't know the difference between sale and sell. -Garage sell  -I sale cars for a living  |

For some reason, I always screw up there/their/they're and your/you're.
Don't know why. I know what they mean and when they're supposed to be used, yet I still mess them up again and again. That's why I try to proofread all my posts. (And yes, I almost screwed it up again in the second line of this post. )
