Little Misspellings You Hate

[Cmwissy]

There/their/they're

You/u (do this and I'll murder you)

Too/to

Rogue/Rouge

Lol/Hahaha (I make a point of not using 'lol')

Me, I'd have to go with people who spell definitely with an a. Definately, definitaly, or the best, defiantly. I usually don't get too concerned when people spell badly, after all, it's what they're saying that counts. This one always irks me, though.

This, so much. And rediculas. I'm usually not a big stickler either, but come on, are you freaking retarded?

And when people spell 9 out of 10 words wrong when they're trying to rant about how stupid another person or thing is. If you can't use the language, then don't.

Edit: Oh, and when someone calls another person a "looser" I just about lose all faith in humanity.

People mispronouncing Sudoku. "Let's do some Soo-doo-koo!" No, let's eliminate your gene pool.

Personally, I hate myself for always misspelling ?ridiculous?. For the longest time I was spelling it ?rediculous?. D:

Yes, I also hate you for this.

More of a mispronunciation thing: but I HATE it when people say "Everythink". NO. NO. IT'S EVERYTHING.

teh intahnetz is teh playce faw fonix. if u downt lyke it, back off.

"Teh" is not phonetic, the silent "e" on the end of either "place" or "playce" is not phonetic, and "like" is equally as phonetic as "lyke" even though the silent "e" is not phonetic either.

In short, no.

A forum post should be like a skirt: Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Damn, you're good...

I know it's not quite the same, but people who pronounce the letter h 'haitch'.

I have to suppress my rage when it happens in public lest my normal human being cover is blown.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

While not a spelling error by any strecth, the addition of a 'u' in many words spelled according to English tradition bugs me.

In short, no.

The e is phonetic in that without it, the word would be pronounced playk. Teh is a common internet colloquialism, as is lyke. I would expect someone who frequents a gaming forum to understand that.

But whatever, I wasn't serious. I'm just saying that if you're on the internet, especially on a forum etc, then you shouldn't expect everyone to be able to spell, or even be fucked to, properly. I certainly don't get annoyed by misspellings.

Not so much a spelling thing, but when people say "aks/axe" instead of "ask" or "excape" instead of "escape" or generally replace "sk" with "x/xc/ks".

But I can't fucking stand it when people don't capitalize "I" repeatedly or just don't acknowledge the existence of the shift key. It's all the worse when they use full words, because then it's not a huge stretch to the shift key if you're already typing out full words.

Oh, and seeing your/you're always pisses me off.

Oh [HEADING=1]i[/HEADING] also hate the aks/axe and ask thing. I also really hate it when people say prehaps instead of perhaps.

Uh, yeah....

Rofl.

I always mix up b and p, then trying to fix it having no eraser but the pencil to scratch at the messed up part.
