That we learned to spell. I LOVE MFP and all of you wonderful people, so I'm going to share some wisdom that my favorite TA shared with us :D

    Lol! So true xD I see these all the time!

    I think I am guilty of the "its or it's" simply because I am too lazy to add in the apostrophe to most words xD

    Was it in the drawer right next to the grammar complaint?

    There's some kind of romantic notion that piss-poor grammar and illiteracy is justifiable because this is the internet. :ohwell:

    Yeah... I wish they would have consulted the rest of us =/
    I don't know why, it just makes me cringe when I see "your the best!" and things to that extent.

    Also, any "Friends" fanatics out there?
    I always hear Ross yelling "Y-O-U- Apostrophe- R-E means YOU ARE. Y-O-U-R means your!"

    Love that show :)

    Honestly I would really like to learn to spell, but since it hasn't happened yet, I'm not holding my breath.

    oh yeah! I forgot the Alot was H&1/2. They're both equally awesome. As soon as I realized Hyperbole was a chick, I thought they should get together and birth some more comic genius.

    I love this,although I'm guilty of a few that I can just never grasp.
    "Definitely" being the main problem, I nearly always spell it with an "a" - I also just noticed I spelt it that way just typing this out! (thanks spell check!)
    I also get confused over effect/affect sometimes, and always spell a lot "alot" To me it looks odd with the space.

    I make a lot of spelling mistakes... that's why I adore spell check! It's the grammar ones that can't be fixed with spell check that make life difficult =/
