ignorant, incorrect spellings piss me off
Uncategorized October 21st, 2008i have a new pet peeve: ignorant misspellings. seriously…in today’s computer driven world, with spell check, and phones with text messaging features that can actually correct words, there’s no excuse anymore…
listen, i’ll not spell words correctly each and every time. i have trouble with the word “definitely” sometimes. but an incorrect spelling is just slightly better than an ignorant misspelling.
yesterday, i’m playing online poker. clearly the online gaming world is filled with really intelligent people have really great conversations, so when one player called another a “petafile” I about laughed my head off. when someone tells me friend’s home ”is really cool” i’d expect a “their” and not a “there.” in addition, your versus you’re kills me. probably the most common error, just above the “their/there/they’re”
just tonight, the evening news was advertising a job for an “elecitrician.” someone has to read these things…proof read the damn thing.
so annoying…so, so annoying. accept [sic] when i do it.

The your and you’re thing drives me nuts too. To and too is another one.
