**Simple words that people always misspell**

WHY, oh why, do people call it "collage"? In texts, emails, bebo..."yep, can't wait to go back to collage...."

It drives me up the WALL.

Indeed, there/their/they're. I know they all sound the same but it bugs me when people can't differentiate between them.
Even in business mails I see this, although not nearly as often as on boards.

People are always writing "the point is mute".

It´s moot.

MOOT.

also, but not to the same degree: there/their/they're

there: look over there
their: it's their ball
they're: they're going home

My eyes hurt. Why would you do such a thing?! :eek:

I also hate it when people put an apostrophe before the letter "s" when they're using plurals of nouns. Like, wtf?! :mad:

Like tattoo's?

Another pet peeve of mine is unusual plurals, like mother-in-laws and Bertie's favourite, Minister of States. It's Ministers of State, you semi-literate cretin.

To whom it may concern:

"Ridiculous".

It is not "rediculus" you idiots or any variant thereof. There's no goddamn "e" in it.

Please take 5 minutes to sear the correct spelling into your brain, you cro-magnon morons.

Thank you.

Top of my list is the people who can't understand the most basic of English, and constantly mix up "then" and "than".

You got there just before me! I came back into this thread just to make that point.

Also, people who order a round of "points" instead of pints should be smacked about the face with wet rubber gloves.

I hate it when people spell "lose" as "loose". There are about three people on the internet who spell it correctly.

Agreed. I have to laugh when people call others "loosers"

Been/being.

He is being stupid.
He has been there.

One is past tense, one is present.

People get them wrong all the time on this site.

RubyXI

Alot / A lot
Is there a space
Or is there not?

BK2

and then guess what he done..... did.

zAbbo

"alot" is not a word - "a lot"

Try saying "alittle"

I hate when people put unnecessary Hs in their names when they're not genetive case declensions.

They're both present tenses - one is present perfect, the other present continuous.

I found out today that 4 people in my 2nd year English class have been spelling 'business' as 'buiseness' even though it is spelled correctly on their timetables.

Arguing with people who are sure they are right is pointless.

Also I hate when people spell Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism as Pseudopseudohipoparathyrodism

today's pick:

volitile (think she meant volatile...)

Your/You're confusion also makes I mad.

Your Mother (yore Ma)
You're Mother (you are the parent)

En route.
Separate.
Definitely.

The use of apostrophes when pluralising.

Nolanger

Fulfil not fulfill, fullfill, fullfil.

faceman

I gave up getting annoyed at everyone knocking Spelling online. Tori is a nice girl deep down...



One thing that i get confused at though is when people refer to a spoken agreement (as opposed to a written agreement) as a "verbal agreement". Doesnt verbal mean an arrangement of words? Therefore wouldnt Oral agreement be more fitting?

I hate when someone at a bus stop says they're waiting on a bus instead of for a bus, perhaps they think they're sitting on the roof of the bus.

Do you really get confused? A verbal agreement is the same as an oral agreement - one relates to the medium (the words), the other to the conduit (the mouth).

And this is about speeling, goldurnit!
