Yay i'm not the only one! It ticks me off when they can't spell "colour" right.
These are my primary gripes. Probably because they're so fracking common too. There are other things that irk me sometimes, but these ones are king.Flushfacker said:
Let's see the language is called "english" is it not? and who spoke it first? we in england, this makes our spellings of the words correct by default. You may not but anyone who argues where spelling wrong needs to get off the high horse and recieve a strike to the privates from samus.-Stranger- said:
How Americans spell "colour" (color) and "dialogue" (dialog).

We're speaking what the language has become from our ancestors, most spellings haven't changed for centuries, then the americans go changing a bunch of words for no real reason (this sort of thing never has a real reason.)-Stranger- said:
I always get mixed up on when I'm supposed to use Then and Than, most of the time regardless I use Then (which I just spelled tehn whilst typing this...).
And people don't seem to care.
But it does bother me.
Other typical ones are the, They're, There and Their types of problems.
I'm perfectly aware of when they're used (as evidence just there... and here)I spent YEARS re-learning how to grasp the English language, because being an amateur comic artist on the internet, I come across situations where it's necessary for me to write a script, and those scripts are my finished dialogue drafts, so what's on them, goes.
So when I make a mistake which should have been glaringly obvious when I made it.
It really gets on my goat, because like I said I went through major hassle to re-teach myself all this crap.

I forgot on capital "I" sue me I'm human. An entire country spelling words wrong truly does annoy me though.-Stranger- said:
the difference between there, their and they're.... i'm not normally a grammar nazi but i have no tolerance when it comes to that ¬_¬
In my area, to get around this whole problem, we just say should've, which sounds the same as either pronunciation.-Stranger- said:
I just hate misspellings in general. My pet hate is the word 'drug'. I was always under the impression that the past tense of 'drag' was 'dragged'. I seem to have seen a lot of people who wrote that they 'drug' stuff around though.
Say what now?-Stranger- said:
The things that annoy me most are "should of" in place of "should have", and "alot" in place of "a lot"... and it just plain confuses me when people come out with "retarted" and "congradulations". The whole "their/there/they're" thing goes without saying.
Pretty much any common word that is misspelled irritates me. Your browser should have spell check. There are no excuses.
I'm 15 and I can spell perfectly fine. If you're over my age and can't spell or correctly use any common words, you need to get smacked in the face with common sense.

I am willing to let it slide for a bit during Text Messages and other "One-Liner" Communications. But anywhere that actual thought must be placed into your message, I do not condone. And obviously, I will hit people who do that sort of thing in real life.The Big Eye said:
Another problem I have is a post longer than it should be. A forum post should be like a skirt: Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.
