Typos happen and I'm not the perfect speller so it's not like I'm being picky or mocking anybody, but so many people spell a lot, alot. Just curious how so many people could spell the same word wrong.

I'm an I/T professional by trade, when I update technical documentation or e-mail techs and such I double check for grammar, punctuation, etc. etc., plus use spell check, but when I'm on therx, of messing aound IM'ing, I'm from the type it, rip it, don't edit it school.

BillsGirl gets on my case all the time when she reads any typos I make here.

I've always noticed when some one says/spells noone,it's weird how so many spell it this way.

They obviously are not using Firefox?

Less annoying than the "would of"/"could of" crowd. These people are morons, plain and simple. Shows a total lack of understanding of their own language. I bet they watch Prison Break too.

Oh NO NO NO NO NO.

By far and away, the most common demonstration of stupidity I see is using the word LOOSE to mean the opposite of WIN.

"The Bulldogs are going to loose this game."

"I thought they were going to loose until they got that last TD."

"If they loose to the Wildcats I'm gonna go nuts."

Drives me up the f***ing wall. I swear, two times out of three I see LOOSE instead of LOSE.
