I hate when people are trying to type "people' and thy type "ppl." I also hate when people want to say "please" they say "plz"

I'd have to say small words not being spelled out all of the way. (i.e. - watz up, etc. ) Like it's going to take THAT much time.

*Wrong Use of Words:
accept/except
affect/effect
to/too/two
then/than
passed/past
...and most likely many more. xD

Overuse of the same words! D: (Ex: I....I...I...I...) It drives me bananas! (Although, I do like bananas, they make my mouth itchy. D: )

*Spelling Problems:
interesting
like
concentrate

There are alot of words that bug me when they are mispelled. My favorite has to be "sux" though. Or any word that uses an "x" instead of "cks".

On my poetry site, I see all kinds of nasty errors, and I cringe. Granted we all make mistakes but here are a few words that bug me..

allot- no dammit it is "a lot" (I aint got allot of brains) eek

allone- no again, no double "l's" the word for the day is A-L-O-N-E

sumthing scream - hello this is English and not Mathematics it's SOMEthing

My last word is Beautiful...oh my gosh, I so cannot believe people can hack such a beautiful word up.

Just a few words that I think folks by the time their an adult, should know how to spell. wink

Peace

Isle and Aisle get mixed up a lot. And by the way, "alot" is 2 words: a lot.
Isle: a group of islands
Aisle: what the bride walks down
Get it right please biggrin

What really gets on my nerves has got to be when someone insults you on an Online Game, using incorrect Grammar and what-not. [Example: u suk gim me ur gwee ho.] <- I actually encountered this while sitting in the Towns! And you want to know why? Because I refused to sell my Gwee to him. Ugh. Friggen' idiots these days, I swear. D<

Hmm... tha really is a hard question for me to answer. Well I guess it would be the word "believe."

You know some older people, like my parents. They spell the way the words sound as they are spoken. That's how they were taught in school. Way back then, they didnt even have a dictionary to understand words or even know how to spell them right. Does it really matter if some words are mis-spelled wrong?

I get really agitated when people spell the words "Light" , "Night" and "Cool", "Lite" (Not even on food!) "Nite" and, worst of all, "Kool". That drives me up the roof!

Almost every word with "ie" or "ei" in it is a word that I hate to see misspelled.

What about "thru"? That one gets to me, unless, of course, it's a "drive-thru." 'Cause that's, like, the offical name of it, or something.

This might just be a regional thing-- I don't know-- but a lot of people around here misuse the word "ignorant."

Ignorant apparently means "rude." Last time I checked a dictionary, that wasn't one of the definitions.

Thank you very much.
