Any Common Misspellings Annoy You?

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

I'm not really annoyed by people's spelling mistakes but:

To/two/too

Or more commonly:

There/their/they're

[NullAccount 287]

Their our alot of grammer and speling errors that reely bug me. i wood list all of them, butt that would take way two long.

 

[Sunwalker 981]

My real name is Tiago, but people usually misspell it as Thiago

[zombienixon 330]

The lose/loose thing is probably the worst, followed closely by people calling their brakes 'breaks'. I saw this a lot on Craigslist when I was looking for a car.

[Chara 1,565]

One thing that majorly annoys me is when people spell my name "Zach" like "Zack".

[Concerned Bystander 2,902]

It's not a spelling mistake as such, but I hate the use of the word "like" as a punctuation mark!

[Clover Heart 978]

One that's been bugging me that I seem to be noticing a lot lately is "without further adieu." And I facepalm every time.

 

Along the same, I've noticed people using "bazaar" when they mean "bizarre." It's.... whyyy?

 

"Wierd," cuz at a glance, it looks like "wired."

 

You'd be surprised at how many people cannot spell "tongue." For some reason, so many people think there's an "H" in it. Second, so many people don't realize that there's a "U" in there.

 

I find it grating when sophomores can't spell the word "sophomore." Yeah, I know it's hard to hear that "O." You're also 15 years old (or even older if you're in college, making it even sadder.) Learn to spell.

 

Typically, all the commonly swapped homophones. That's not that interesting, though, cuz that bugs everyone. I guess that's all I can think of for the time being.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,611]

Definitely the loose/lose thing. Mainly because my mind automatically tells me to read it as it is spelled, so tends to really throw me off. It is a misspelling I see way too often. :\

[One-Punch Man 316]

A lot of people who rush when they write or type spell Wednesday as Wendesday.

It annoys me quite a bit, haha. 

[Lisa 5,553]

When people write "Accidently" instead of "Accidentally."

 

"Lisence" instead of "License."

 

 Principle/Principal. 

Eugh.

[Guncakes 80]

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".

 

THIS! I would call it a grammatical error, but it still ticks me off. 

[Lightbulb 170]

I have a few, Miss punctuation, people using incorrect wording. Bloody hell, where should I begin?

 

Firstly, The word (Their, There And They're.)

 

A lot of People affiliate They're with There, But if you wrote [There The worst], your not saying They are, your saying something that, if i were an A.I. I would most likely translate that into {Place = The = Worse} Or something like that.

 

Here's a sentence I find everywhere on the net where people do it wrong. I'll do it right for you, but you'll get how.

 

There Are so many forums around the internet, I doubt you would have time to look at them all in one day. They're everywhere, and you aren't millions of people, Their Is only one of you, not many.

 

See There's a lot of ability to make mistakes there.

 

Second is grammar.

 

People will write something on the net without even thinking. They'll says something like [Wat R U Thingking?]

 

How is it so hard to write, What Are You thinking? It takes seconds, SECONDS! But no, people have to look at their keyboards and conciously say "I'm gonna write like a moron."

 

Yes i get the Wat thing, it's a joke to a lot of people. Like, say you said something long, and it would take me a long time to read, i'd just say "Wat" and then you'd either be forced out of the conversation, or you'd shorten it to something i could read in a minute or so.

 

There's a lot more, but Whenever and Wherever I rant, things' die.

 

Also I believe It is spelt Whiskey. Not Whisky.

 

If i drank Whisky, I think i'd be drinking a whisk, and something. It is spelt Whiskey.

 

otherwise it's not correct to me, or quiet a lot of people.

I hate all bad grammar and punctuation and spelling.  Not only am I studying English at uni, but I also read things as they're written and my brain absorbs it literally.  The minute someone messes up grammar I have to take time to stop and figure out what they meant, which sometimes only takes a second or two, but more often takes longer because most people mess it up so bad.  I know I'm not perfect at this stuff myself, but some things are really easy to do and people won't do it.

 

I really hate when people don't capitalize or appropriately identify the names of songs, books, movies, etc., when they're talking about it.  I don't mind if you don't know which ones require quotation marks and which ones should be italicized but at least differentiate the title from the rest of the sentence.  For example, sometimes movies or books or shows have a name that doesn't imply it's a title immediately, for my example, let's say there's a new movie out called "The Game."  People like to make posts like this, "hey guys lol im at the game so awesome" When you read something like that, it could imply a lot of things, it could imply a ball game, or a video game tournament, or any number of other things, and all you had to do was capitalize the words to make it more obvious, and it doesn't take that long to push the "Shift" key while pushing a letter down.

 

Mistakes like those are especially frustrating because if you comment on it these idiots will act like you're an idiot, and do it with their bad grammar.  I don't expect everyone to be perfect but can't people at least try?

 

I also hate many of the ones mentioned here already and I absolutely destest people who say "are" instead of "our."   :okiedokielokie:

[AmberDust 1,118]

Using quotation marks for emphasis bothers me more than any spelling or grammar mistakes possibly could.

[InfectedPone 1,550]

The only one that actually annoys me is "Bronie". This mistake happens way too often and I don't know why, but it just gets on my nerves.

[Ecntrix 86]

• Misspell
• Necessary
• Beginning
• Accommodate
• Basically
• Dilemma

A lot more. XD

[Redacted321 105]

People who just can't spell at all when people type something like "yuor'e an fgaot" Yes that's been said to me before. Other then that just the simple Your and You're. C'MON PEOPLE YOU'RE = YOU ARE!

[redshell 195]

This one is porsonal when people misspell my name

Zack instead of Zach

[Draxon 214]

Something can be canon, but it cannot be cannon, unless it's a cannon.

[RainbowPastel 185]

My pet peeve is not really a misspelling I guess. It's more of a grammar issue.

HITTED QUITTED EATED SITTED TAKED PUTTED

I see people write or say this and it bugs the fuck out of me. Like it's not one mistake. They do it like nobody has ever taught them how to use past tense! I probably wouldn't be as annoyed but I live with someone who does this and it makes me kind of a grammar nazi.
