Words you need to stop misspelling.
 

*shrug* there's always a lupoll to get around those spelling rules.

Its almost like re-learning english for some of the folks here lol.

Side note: when did we have a "like" button for RS posts for FB o.o.

The mistake of your and you're really gets to me. LOL Also when people say something like "i couldn't of done it without u." It's "I couldn't have"!

i did but even after that, the smallest fonts were all blurry.

or maybe i'm just old. :(

Its annoying when some people say "Mines" instead of "Mine"
Jesus.

For all intensive purposes, if your able to understand what there trying to say than its all good.

irritates the shit out of me when 3 of my buddies still use the word "iono"

do people really get these words wrong?

Can't believe people write "loose" when they mean "lose". :facepalm:
I see this on RS a lot lol.


Here's one:
anticlimactic vs the incorrect anticlimatic

that extra c

it's the stanley cup playoffs and that word gets thrown around a lot on CDC and HFboards so I thought I'd mention it.

Affect / effect is the thing I simply cannot get.

One that drives me nuts is "could of"/"should of"

I see people using "anyways" a lot; that's not a word. Right up there with "gooder."

Effect = End result of an action

yeah this one is quite annoying

I've noticed people seem to like to spell 'rediculous'

and some time during high school I started spelling weird incorrectly, I guess it's that stupid 'I before E except after C' Rule that they drilled into our heads when we were younger.

Awesome thread. To this day, I still have trouble knowing how to use semicolon, dash and hyphen properly because I have been taught so many different rules from different teachers.

i was wAndering what those lupoll's were

alot.

i think when people say that they simply mean could've should've

but i suppose people became confused when hearing that and thought could 'of' is appropriate



for some raisin I always think of nipples when i see lupoll :blush:

smth or whatever something is. I fucking hate that.

I used to make an active effort to spell correctly and use proper punctuation...but now it's pretty much automatic. Even when I'm on my phone. Spelling the right way takes no longer than using all the common shortcuts people (especially Asians...) use all the damned time in texts.

I went to both elementary and high school with a kid that did this. He still does it after all these years, even though he was ESL.

I'm pretty sure that is solely an asian thing. My gf says it all the time. Pisses me off. It makes her sound so stupid.

Yes, most people will know what you're talking about. However, if you're not an immigrant or English isn't your first/primary language, you should not be making these simple mistakes.

Personally, it makes you look pretty dumb. I know I felt hella stupid because I thought cleant was a word. I used to say all the time, "I already cleant my room". My parents used to say cleant ALL the time. So that's where I learned it and I used it once with my friends and they all look at me like I was a retard.

I fucking hate seen/saw. Its my personal mission to correct everyone who uses them incorrectly in real life.
