    While I agree.. life's too short to stress over other adults grammar and spelling.

    I hate to say it but I agree. It's such a simple word. How sad that you can't spell a four-letter word properly.

    LOL, that one doesn't bother me as much as those who say wonder when they mean wander and vice-versa.

    It's not inability to spell, it's often lack of knowledge of which to use in certain context. Like knowing you're, your, or yore. English is an exceptionally difficult language even for native speakers. When people see the misuse often enough, it becomes confusing. That being said, I KNOW which word to use, but I'll often mistype and use the wrong one. Because it's not a misspelling, spell check says it's fine. So, I'll go back to "It's My Fitness Pal, not My Grammar Pal." Let's give people a break, or is it brake?

    Want some cheese with that "Whine"??? Or would you prefer to have loose pants after you lose your weight and set loose your ill pleased snottiness so everyone else will lose their mind? or would you prefer mine versus mind?

    I used to feel the need to correct grammar/spelling because I'm a perfectionist, but then I realized it's rather "classist" to point out mistakes or put down others who may not have been blessed with the same education I've received. I may occasionally twitch, but I leave my comments to myself out of respect for others.

    It never really bothered me until I read this:

    "The U.S. was ranked 17th in an assessment of the education systems of 50 countries, behind several Scandinavian and Asian nations, which claimed the top spots.

    Finland and South Korea grabbed first and second places, respectively, in a global league table published by the education firm Pearson, while Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore ranked third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

    The study, carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), combines international test results and data such as literacy rates and graduation rates between 2006 and 2010."

    Now it just makes me sad.

    Not to be rude, but why is this a forum topic?
    If you really felt this was an issue, address it in the forum where the misspelling occurred.
