I couldn't agree more.

People who spell frnds instead of friends. Learning your vowels is so simple. :okay:

it's a complex system for the same people who decide to use z instead of s for "frndz"...

Principle, as in he did it on principle.

You advise someone, whereas you give someone advice.

You affect someone's decision by your actions.

The effect was global in nature.


Understanding parts of speech helps a lot (not alot).......... srs.

Nouns Verbs
Adjectives Adverbs
Nouns Pronouns
Participle Past Participle
Tenses
Etcetera............
Principal is your "pal". My old principal also used to play D2 and ironically, he was a paladin.

Probably because they don't know the I before E rule,
Lol

Just avoid it altogether.

Like the people who don't know where the comma and period goes when using quotations - just put it right underneath them, lol. Except, with word processors you're kind of screwed.

AzNightmare 07-14-2016 12:54 AM
Oh yeah... Usually found in the Canucks thread.

Resign vs Re-sign.

Players re-sign new contracts.
They never resign. They retire.

Irregardless.

That word gives me conniptions. I know it's *technically* a word (autocorrect on my British-English spell check in Firefox isn't highlighting it for me), but it just sounds so damn wrong. If you're going to use it, keep in mind that there's a built-in double negative in the word, so it actually refers to "in regard to."

MG1 07-14-2016 04:07 AM
Ah, double negatives.............

I ain't got no more, LOL.

anyone who i've ever heard/seen use "irregardless" usually also confuses their/they're/there. reading this thread makes me so angry lol all my pet peeves post after post

MG1 07-14-2016 10:08 AM
Just as annoying are people getting idioms wrong.

At work, one guy sorts and labels boxes with parts in them. On one of them, he puts down, "Odds and Ins," instead of "Odds and Ends." :lawl:

carisear 07-14-2016 10:16 AM
meh, we are all moving towards newspeak anyways.

I stopped caring about poor English ages ago. I have much better things to do with my time now. brb trying to catch more pokemons

Unique. It irks me when people say things are "so unique" but it's so common now that it's just accepted. But it's the same as saying something is "so one of a kind"

CivicBlues 07-14-2016 12:31 PM
"Literally"

Hearing this word misused literally makes me want to bang my head against the door.

It literally didn't take you forever.

You literally didn't die.

Because you'd be dead.

See the difference people?

Presto 07-14-2016 02:29 PM
Surprised there's no mention of lose or loose.

Lose = cease to have something (I lost my marbles)
Loose = not firmly or tightly fixed in place (You have a few loose marbles)

I frequently see people use loose in place of lose.

Walla vs voila, lol

As Canadians, I guess we've seen it enough in french classes to know it's voila, but them amuricans.

My co-worker just yesterday left a note saying "doctor will reaccess" lol. She's a hilarious fob though. On the advice vs advise note, someone was pronouncing and spelling it as "adwise". Of course, no one corrected her because it's funnier that way lol.

Also, Ralph Wiggums, love that kid. Super Nintendo Chalmers. That is all.
