    Or 'to' vs. 'too', or 'right' vs. 'write'. ; )

    As we are in the age of texting, we're probably lucky when the words are even spelled out :laugh: If I understand what they are saying I don't really care that they use the wrong word. Actually my pet peeve is "ain't", I dislike the use of that word written or spoken.

    I care when the wrong words are used, because if they are misspelled frequently enough, people will begin thinking it is "okay" to misspell them again and again. Eventually, the correct spelling is entirely ignored, leaving me to assume that nobody gives a freakin' flip about proper grammar, spelling and punctuation anymore.

    I teach ELA and trust me, the grammar mistakes on here drive me crazy. EVERYONE should have a basic understanding of grammar rules and know how to use them properly. And the whole "It's just a message board, it's not really important to me" line of thinking is just a poor excuse for being too lazy or too rushed to care.

    Ticker says "No Whining"...and yet ^^^....hmmm. Something is afoot.

    My almost seven year old is coming along well with her writing and spelling. English is such a tricky language . She is always asking myself and my husband how to spell things, or what a word means. They are all good questions. I am so glad she is learning the right way to write :wink:

    That is the number one thing that annoys me about MFP is when people use "loose" instead of lose. UGH!

    it isn't just here, it is everywhere! I never correct anybody but I do shake my head that it is such a common thing to see

    Oh god..My husband does the ALL THE TIME. It really irks me and I try to delicately correct him to no avail. I am not sure what the confusion is with it. It seems rather straight forward to me!

    It's to funny when people right loose vs. lose.

    Don't see the problem. I launched my fat over my garden fence using a trebuchet. Your point?

    There are two things that annoy me more than the "lose" and "loose" debate: the overuse of the word "like", and the vocal fracture that women (more often than men) use at the end of their sentences. It is a nasally, elongation of whatever the last two to three words are of their sentences. And when someone puts these two things together (like and vocal fracture), it is like fingernails on the chalkboard to me.

    Example: "I'm, like, soooooo annnoyyyyyed right nowwwwww". UGH!

    It is TOO funny. Right? I hate when people mess up with language. We should, like, TOTALLY chastize them to feel better about ourselves. Do you agree with that TOO?
