You know, I spend at least 5-6 hours a week reading the intraweb and I amazed at the dumbness of some folks. I'm not talking about typo's or difficult words. Rather, I am talking about some real simple shit.
LOOSE is what you do to your pants Lose is what happens when you can't find something You are = you're, not YOUR. Your spelling sucks, you're an idiot! These are my biggest two that I see all the time. Anyone else have some others that really tic you off? |

"WAR on ERRORISM" Continues............................ I wish all I had to worry about in life was someone elses spelling abilities Meery XXmaas Taffy |

I'm guilty of it all. But, that one will send you to GN Hell. |
|
|
Yes, I have a grammar peeve.
You spelled nazi's instead of nazis. The apostrophe is possessive. |
|
ya, u r piky.
One of the worst IMHO is not knowing when they should say I vs me, but even worse is when anyone says or types youse. (Pronounced yooz). Another kicker is when something is described with the use of and, like "I ate and Avacado". |
|
tell me about it.its only the internet. its not like its a quiz or something. spelling nazis and the dupe police need to be banned. |
|
|
Hell! You guys invented the language!!! |
|
|
Look a bit closer. There's more wrong than that one. |
||
|
Ditto on incorrect use of the apostrophe. That just burns my popcorn.
|
|
Whoa. I clicked on this thread just to add a link to that comic... and you've done my work for me. Amazing. |

|
|
maybe try and look past the words and think about what most people are trying to say, i myself am guilty of the your, im, cause and mistakes of that nature not because im stupid, but because i have a little more faith in the intelligence of those reading what i post and spend a little more time trying to get out my question than worrying about proper grammar.
|
|
Why, whatever, do you mean? |
|
|
I think those are there on purpose, to further insult the spelling nazi to whom it was directed. |
|
|
That's a cop out. |
|
|
although I usually spell check, their and there and bare and bear sometimes slip by.
I don't correct spelling unless it leads to obvious and substantial misunderstanding. I think most people can deal with a little of it. |
|
how so? enlighten me. |
||
|
Yes, but they only send you to GN Purgatory. No what I mean? |
|||
|
|
After giving it more thought I'd have to say the absolute worst is when I'm reading something that I posted, and I find typos or words left out.
|

Dog in heat, Dog in heat, Dog in heat.
I don't like it, but do find it amuzing, the sad thing is we understand what is being said FREEGGINN NAZI'S I thought you were all gone |

You're pushing it, Mister. Be careful how you use the apostrophe. |
|
|
Is this that Pentecostal language?? If so thear is a serious language barrier here. |
|
|

theres so many people who cant write proper grammer or speel correctly, its appaling. Grammer and speeling is so easy, especally if u read alot and write lots of short stories like I do/did, theres no escuse for using improper usage of speelings and grammer.
I am a grammer/spelling nazi, and if anyone can find any mistake's in my post's that are meant to be serious, I will be very impressed. |
|
|
dood, yoo kant spel fro carp and, you're us of puctuashun is teh ghey im shure you ment it all |
|
|
I think "regimine" is somehow related to Vegemite.
<<= I hate Illinois (spelling) Nazis... |
|
If someone decides to write something that potentially millions of people could read, they should at least take the time to spell their words correctly. It is difficult to take someone seriously when they spell like they have a third grade education.
Some of the entries on this site are down right painful to read. |
