It's very common for some words to be used wrong. Sometimes they sound alike but have different spellings and different meanings. Am I the only one that notices?
There, their, and they're are not the same
Lose and loose are not the same
Desert and dessert are not the same
If it countable, use fewer. Otherwise use the word less. Fewer calories, less milk.

Just my rant for the evening. :wink:

    Like when people use would of instead of would have. Or for all intensive purposes when they mean all intents and purposes. I could go on for hours with these.

    Did you honestly think that out of the hundreds of thousands of people who view/participate in this site everyday, you were the only one who had a basic understanding of spelling and grammar?

    Okay then, how 'bout if we derail the thread and start complaining about something else then....
    I'll start.
    I just hate it when people have private profiles.
    End rant.





    j/k
    Carry on.
