    :laugh: :happy: Don't get me started. :laugh: I’m willing to bet that they’re, there, and their are among the most commonly misspelled and misused words in the English language. Just another way to annoy me :laugh: My poor kids will no longer allow me to check their English homework! :smile:

    Oh don't get me started!! I absoulutely HATE incorrect grammar!

    Especially on facebook when the younger generation (says me age 23 lol) use text speak or write 'lyk dis' and you can't understand a word they are saying! Or when people say for example 'I'm going too the supermarket'...erm, wouldn't it be easier to just write 'to' which is what it's supposed to be anyway?!?!

    GRRR!!! :explode:

    hehe

    what bothers me is the fact that this same issue has been brought up a zillion times..
    Obviously some people don't to it intentionally...

    Speak for all of us poor spellers...AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    I use to hate that I couldn't spell untill I read that Einstien was a poor speller. I figured if he was that smart and couldn't spell then I could live with my being a poor speller. He wsa once asked why he didn't spell better and his reply was, "I don't comit to memory things that can be looked up." :laugh: :laugh: You gotta love that logic!

    I tend to be more tolerant of poor spelling than I am of poor grammer. I actually didn't marry a man because of his poor english. I asked him why he didn't correct his english and he said I knew what he ment so why bother. Have I also mentioned how much I hate lazy people?:explode:

    Hehe I posted a short rant on this a month or two ago. The discussion sparked a multi-page fight (I was not much of a participant, but others were very passionate) so I caution you...but I agree entirely.
