"Wierd" irks me to no end. Also, when people write "I should of" instead of "I should have", I yell at them inside my head for being a moron.
To be fair, people usually pronounce it "should of".
You'd spell that pronunciation "should've", wouldn't you?
Fair enough. And besides....

Regardless, if we allow that sort of buggery then "thawt" becomes an acceptable spelling of thought. Same goes for "laff", "rot" and "sieyuntz".

If you're referring to the quotation at the top, just edit it, replacing the end tag with "[ /quote ]". Without the quotation marks and the spaces, obviously.
Oh, and welcome to the Escapist.
You will never escape.
Thanks.

Search Bar approved. If this has been done before, sorry, but you can't say I didn't try.

So, pretty much the title. Any little misspellings that, for whatever reason, kinda piss you off?

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.
It is time we take take a defiant stand against search bar approved disclaimers. I would have posted something on topic in this thread, but search bar approved disclaimers are what irks the shit out of me. Kinda pisses me off. A lot.

Look, if its search bar approved, you post it. If it isn't, you don't. If you searched, and someone tells you to use the search bar, THAT PERSON IS TROLLING.

"ROUGE"

Edit: When referring to "rogue"
i do this all the time and i dont know why. i guess is just mix up the two. i know when i have wrote it if i have spelt it correctly or not.

ot: i hate it when english people spell colour as "color"

yes i know it's the american spelling and you all believe thats how it's spelt, but not in england.

i know this isn't spelling but i also hate it when people say "feeth" or "feefh" instead of Thief.

Though I'd prefer that people spell things correctly in their post I don't mind it if they mispell a word due to a mistype or just to shorten it, what gets on my nerves is this movement among middle schoolers where p0r l1teracy is kewl, cookie for that reference

I just hate it when people purposly misspell words just to sound cooler

Oh and people who replace the world the with da like are you seriously to lazy to type one more letter.

Their, they're, and there.

You're, your.

A few others like that. It starts to drive me ape shit, especially when they're in the subject lines of posts.

For the last time:

Calvary was the site where Jesus was crucified.

Cavalry is soldiers on horseback (or, in the case of "armored cavalry", in light tanks).

Just because your spell checker says calvary is a word doesn't make it correct usage. And since Calvary is a proper noun, Firefox's spellchecker will even helpfully underline it for you and suggest either capital-C Calvary or small-c cavalry, a sure sign you've made a mistake!

And any self-proclaimed WWJD Christian who does this has NO excuse. NONE.

I'm a stickler for proper grammar, so everything that is incorrect bothers me. The one error that really annoys me though is the misuse of "canon" when the sentence calls for "cannon", or vice versa. They are not interchangeable folks!

I can tolerate misspellings in certain things but I can't stand reading an applicants resume that has very little grammar and extremely poor spelling.

Isn't derailing a thread considered a form of trolling?

Omissions of the letter 'u,' a letter that most of a America needs to rediscover (not that us Canadians need English lessons, but the US sure seems to.)

When coding in HTML, having to write "color" and "center" everywhere. I'm English, so "colour" and "centre" are the spellings I'm used to. Also not so much a typing thing, but people who pronounce "scone" like "stone" really get to me.

In terms of spelling, mixing up "your" and "you're" without good reason rubs me up the wrong way, along with people writing should've "should of" etc.
