I call them errors, not mistakes.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SPELL

definitely

and

a lot

correctly! I'm sure there are other annoyances, but these two really get to me.

FWIW, use the spellchecker in the google toolbar.

"every day" = Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ...

"everyday" = ordinary, not special

Jizzo T. Clown: I admit, I have problems with definitly...definately...definetly...oh...whatever!! I usually use m-w.com to check my spelling before I post!

Flash Ipanema: I agree. This one makes me crazy!

For the love of God, can we not get some posters on here to use your and you're properly, not the mention here/hear and there/their/they're?!?

I am in a graduate program stateside, though, and I see THESE SAME MISTAKES in GRAD SCHOOL PAPERS!!! It's amazing.

If it's in a classroom, it's important.

If it's on this website, it doesn't matter, unless someone's post is full of errors or bad grammar. Fast typing for conversation w/out editing = simple mistakes.

Here's my reply filled with errors that are too extreme not to comment on:

If its in a classrooom, its importent.

If its on this websight, it don't matter, unless someones post is full of errors or bad grammer. Fast typeing for convirsation w/out editting = simple mistakes.[/quote]

One that really sets my teeth on edge, although not a spelling problem, is misuse of the word "literally". I think it's been years since the last time I saw it used correctly.

"We were literally starving to death". No you were fucking not; you were just really hungry.

"Bondaegi literally tastes like shit". No it fucking doesn't (well, maybe it does, but I'd like to know how you would know that). It just tastes really bad.

I once saw a teacher write out a report card for a boy named Scott and spell his name 'Scat'.

"Everyday Fresh" bothers me.

I don't like using "beg the question" to mean bring up the question. (not really a spelling issue.)

I too am definitely annoyed a bit, not much, but a bit, by the number of educated people who misspell definitely. A bit, not a lot, mind you.

I have to start a new thread now.

I agree with previous posts, on the looser / loser spelling.
