Any Common Misspellings Annoy You?

[Emerald Wave 68]

So, do any of you guys get frustrated when people type a word the wrong way?

Mine:

-Instead of angel, angle
Imagine in the Phantom Of The Opera, The Phantom sings this.

"Sing, my ANGLE of music!" I hate that typo.

-Instead of Alana, Alan

This isn't a misspelling, but since my username on ROBLOX is alana554, some people shorten Alana down to Alan..

HATE IT! 

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

It annoys me.. so much.

 

"Don't do that agian"

[OptimisticNeighsayer 478]

Anytime someone confuses "they're", "their", or "there" ticks me off.  Their the worst, because there not usually detected by spellcheckers.  People really need to use they're own discretion.

 

Although it's not technically a misspelling, I insist that "whisky" needs the "e".

[Odyssey 5,716]

I find it slightly irritating when people write stuff like "Yes, I like that movie to!" Same goes for stuff like "Let's go too the mall!" I see this sort of mistakes a lot, but it makes me confused to see something rather easy to remember get misspelled.

 

Oh, and the then/than misspellings annoy me as well, for similar reasons to the to/too misspellings.

It bugs me when people mix up the following:

• You're/your
• It's/its
• Where/were/we're
• His/he's
• Vain/vein
• Than/then
• To/two/too

Other minor annoyances include:

 

• Using a comma in place of an apostrophe
• Using punctuation for emphasis
• Overuse of punctuation
• Using an apostrophe when it's clearly not needed
• Capitalising Every Single Word In A Sentence
• Using quotation marks to "emphasize" a word

When people dont know the correct way to use Your and You're or Their and their.

 

Also spelling colour without the u, but thats just an Americanization so i let that slide

[Troblems 5,617]

Cadance, not Cadence. 

[Silver Letter 1,832]

Misspellings and bad grammar can be annoying at times.

[HailTrixie 239]

- Your vs you're

- This comma, is not needed

- Flutershy (This happens)

- Inconsistent punctuation on bullet points, like this.

- People calling punctuation grammar

- And much, much, more!

[SquipyCheetah 449]

I'm a grammar nazi so most grammar mistakes annoy me. A few of the worst are the difference between your/you're, mislead/misled, text talk, etc

[Birdy the Phoenix 70]

definitely.

 

People spell it defiantly all the time, and that REALLY gets on my nerves.

[LordSwinton 759]

I can live with the general mistakes but what always gets on my nerves is this, and it always pops up nearing the festive season: Raping presents

 

PLEASE DO NOT RAPE YOUR PRESENTS

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I am bugged by most any misspelling. (I nearly misspelled misspelling there...).

[Caliboom 219]

When people say "You're" instead of "Your".

 

It's just annoying.

[Envy 6,160]

OMG. Years ago I used to be soooo annoyed when someone would misspell "bassoon". I could never understand why people had such a hard time spelling it... They would spell it like "basoon", or the most annoying "basson".

 

...But that's not how I am anymore. I have become very indifferent to people's spelling errors. 99.9% of the time it is easy to see what someone is saying, so why make a big deal about it? Why make a deal about it at all? It's rude. The same goes for "you're and your", "there, their, they're", etc.

I don't think there are any particular words than annoy me more than others when spelt wrong.  A few lapses in spelling, grammar and punctuation are forgivable in most circumstances.  However, when confronted with a wall of text that is riddled with poor sentence structure, bad spelling, bad grammar and either a lack of, or excessive punctuation then I usually stop reading.

 

I've abandoned the reading of so many fanfics for those sort of reasons.

 

It also annoys me that this site's spellcheck has underlined the word "spelt".  The language is called English for a reason!

[20_cooler 122]

People who misspell the word beauty. Beauty, Baeuty... It's just BEAUTY

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

I have a lot of misspellings that annoy me, like people spelling "does" as "dose"... Come on... That is not a hard word to learn!

 

Or people using the wrong word, or using text talk and not spelling out the whole thing. That is what gets me the most with those.

[LittleMac 3,085]

My brother insists that the word 'pronunciation' is actually typed as 'pronounciation'

 

I detest this with every molecule that makes my being...

[Very Rarity 37]

i hate it, sometimes while at school and i miss spell something, i rip out page and restart. even during Exams 

[Perradial 114]

I despise ALL of the spelling mistakes.

[Fluttershutter 2,453]

The one I especially hate is "lose" vs "loose". It's such a weird thing because it's just become really common recently. People are always talking about "loosing" games.

[Dark Horse 12,961]

People who mistake the use of apostrophes, such as saying "It's" instead of "Its". That's the most common mistake I see almost anyone make, and we all do it at some point. Remember, you're not saying "The Pony stamped it is hooves!"

 

Another common misspelling would be "Affect" instead of "Effect". That seems to confuse a lot.

 

And yes, it's "a lot", not "alot".   

[Lexamena 391]

Definitely the loose/lose thing.

 

Also, writing would of/should of/could of. It's HAVE! would have/should have/could have

I know we SAY of but it's have! What we are actually saying is would've/should've/could've.

 

There have been times I was too lazy to fix a wrong auto-correction and I suspect a lot of people just don't bother. That could contribute to some misspellings or misuses.

[redaxted 1,765]

Bad grammar in general annoys me... But I mean like, really bad grammar! A few mistakes here and there don't bother me too much, as long as I can still work out what it says just fine. But there are a few little things that just get on nerves nonetheless...

You're and your. Just watch You're Vs Your by Jacksfilms. I feel pretty much the same way as him about that mistake, no offence to anyone who does get mixed up. Just try and remember... please.

Also, there's a grammatical error that greatly annoys me. It's when people don't follow the 'New Speaker, New Line' rule. It's just difficult to understand. Example:

"What do we do now?" "We gather a team and save him, that's what we do!" "But how? You really think anyone will want to help us out?" "We have to try! We need help if we're going to save our friend!"

Yeah, I'm not sure really why I used that specifically as an example. I was just making it up as I went along XD
