Can't believe people write "loose" when they mean "lose".
I see this on RS a lot lol.


Here's one:
anticlimactic vs the incorrect anticlimatic

that extra c

it's the stanley cup playoffs and that word gets thrown around a lot on CDC and HFboards so I thought I'd mention it.

I see people using "anyways" a lot; that's not a word. Right up there with "gooder."

yeah this one is quite annoying

I've noticed people seem to like to spell 'rediculous'

and some time during high school I started spelling weird incorrectly, I guess it's that stupid 'I before E except after C' Rule that they drilled into our heads when we were younger.

Awesome thread. To this day, I still have trouble knowing how to use semicolon, dash and hyphen properly because I have been taught so many different rules from different teachers.

i think when people say that they simply mean could've should've

but i suppose people became confused when hearing that and thought could 'of' is appropriate

I used to make an active effort to spell correctly and use proper punctuation...but now it's pretty much automatic. Even when I'm on my phone. Spelling the right way takes no longer than using all the common shortcuts people (especially Asians...) use all the damned time in texts.

I went to both elementary and high school with a kid that did this. He still does it after all these years, even though he was ESL.

I'm pretty sure that is solely an asian thing. My gf says it all the time. Pisses me off. It makes her sound so stupid.

Yes, most people will know what you're talking about. However, if you're not an immigrant or English isn't your first/primary language, you should not be making these simple mistakes.

Personally, it makes you look pretty dumb. I know I felt hella stupid because I thought cleant was a word. I used to say all the time, "I already cleant my room". My parents used to say cleant ALL the time. So that's where I learned it and I used it once with my friends and they all look at me like I was a retard.
