Hmm.. just thought of this. You know when you were younger, you thought there was only one version of "there?" Just simple, plain ol' "there?"
Well, in about 3rd or 4th grade, you are introduced to the other "there"s (they're and their). When you learn that there are other versions of the same word, you are also taught the meaning. It just dawned on me that if you are educationally advanced enough to know that there are other 'there's in existance, then how come you don't know the meaning of each one?!?! Your teacher isn't just going to say "Oh by the way class, you can spell 'there' three ways: T-H-E-R-E, T-H-E-I-R, AND T-H-E-Y-apostrophie-R-E" and ot explain the meaning. |

Theres a guy on my board who has terriable puncuation and spelling. And he abbreviates almost EVERYTHING he posts. Also, if you look at almost all of his posts, he puts that freaking (LOL) everywhere...
Edit- ok maybe putting a board is realy a bad idea...well we all make mistakes... I hate it when I play WoW and see people say "Pwnt Newb" all the freaking time. |

They're - THEY ARE
There - "Over there!" Their - "All of their things are missing!" People confuse those a lot.  |

Well, not just here. It happens once in a while here, but as in the internet as a whole. =/
What would be really annoying is someone who uses abbreviations for almost everything. Instead of writing "Hey, I got a new PC Today", they'd write "HIGANPCT". I doubt (look, there's a 'doubt'!) anyone would do that though.  |

Originally posted by The Politician Heh, really? I don't think I've anything like that. I don't see a lot of "doubt" being used, but whenever I do see it it's always spelled correctly. |

heh you don't get it because 1337 speak is something I have to spend time reading. But that's just people right there, anyway when I speak and when a true redneck speaks are two different things.
The thing about the south is that there is no pressure to be civilized down here. So if there's someone important here we have to be REMINDED to speak to him or her as mannerly as possible. Now that's what it's like in Harris County and Muscogee County here. |

People are entitled to there way of doing things . I don't think we need to crucify anyone for a few typos or someones personal preference on the way we use english words . Thus leads us to our final thought . If we all did things the same ... |

It kinda ticks me off when people spell "doubt" "doupt" with a 'p'. I see it often. Like around here, and it just bugs me a bit. It's tolerable, but reall,y doubt is easy to spell. I myself have a number of typos which tick me off. I'll sometimes mispell words like remember, as rmember.

I don't understand, True? You don't like 1337, it's when you speak that gets to you?
Wha?  |
| True Flight Posts: 1263/5245 |
I don't like 1337 anyway. It's not typing that gets to me... It's when I speak I have a sort of southern accent. Anyone can point it out. You all want to know? Ask Mark.. Anyway when I say you all I say y'all and Jexim had a field day with that the first time I talked to him about it. Infact Mark and Jexim made fun of me for that. Only because Jexim hadn't heard "y'all" for the longest time.
Living in the south also puts a lot of pressure on you to be lazy and type something like: How r u? or: So, I was runnin' through the woods... Plus there's the double negative rule here. and the word "ain't" |

Yeah, but that's bound to happen in any thread, whether it be intentional or not. I know I use "..." a lot, and that may tick some people off.  |
| Cyro Xero Posts: 954/1779 |
What's wrong with you?! Making a username like that. Are you trying to get us all ticked off??! Sheesh!
And I still haven't figured you out. Funny thing about this thread is that some post have mistakes in them, despite pointing out mistakes made in other places.  |

A couple things that annoy me.... (again)
For some reason, what really bugs me is this: You know how people (for example the Warner Family) put signs out in front of their house saying "The Warner's" ??? THAT BUGS THE CRAP OUT OF ME. In my opinion, it should be The Warners's (or The Warners'). Because it's the house that belongs to the Warners (the family). Or (let's get even more simple here) "The Warners." I just don't see the need for the apostrophe in the location it's in given the circumstance. Unless that is really correct........ if so, can someone explain this to me? ...There was another thing taht bugged me, but I can't think of it now. Darn. |

i dunno as long as it's not ridiculous, it's fine. i dont like ppl who hate it when others use "brb" "ppl" and the likes.... i mean, we are online! so dont judge -.-' and yes... brb, is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than typing out the entire be right back -.-' i mean, who the hell still write be right back anymore? anyways, like i said, if it's not totally ridiculously crazy... it shouldnt matter |

The grammar here doesn't phase me when something is wrong with somebody's typing. Usually, I'll catch my mistake either before or right after posting something and go back to edit it. I'll even go so far, and have on several occasions, as to correct a minor error in a post I've made in a thread already a month or more old. Talk about being a bit obsessive compulsive. I understand that people get the "theres" wrong, because they're literally one of the most goofed up words in our language. Here's something that should help you all to remember the "They're" word:
Know that all words, every single conjunction know in this language, that has "are" in it is going to have 're after the first original word. Every conjucntion. How are...- How're What are...- What're You are...- You're and essentially, They are...- They're It even applies to the wilder words like, "You people are..."- You people're. Whenever you come across these word in your typing career think back to this post and remember the examples I've given. Other than that, I really don't like it when people use RU instead of "Are you...", just like Rogue doesn't. |

1337 I have no problem with, because it tends to confuse those that use "ntspk." Oddly enough, Some definitions for leet:

You know what really grinds my gears? All these new-fangled acronyms. It seriously took me a year to make the connection of "lol" and "laugh out loud". The new tricky fellow is IMO, after about a month I think it means "In My Opinion". Also, the whole concept of "l(1)33t(7)" annoys me, unless for small humor based instances. I commonly refer to it as "leet", just to confuse the populus and remind them that numbers usually shouldn't replace letters and that EVERYONE knows this 'code'. And ebonics in general is terrible and I would be embarrased to represent that as part of my culture. |

Originally posted by Rogue You missed 'there'. I see that one used wrong quite often... Actually, that's the main annoyance. I've developed a semi-immunity to AOLspeak, since most times I see it are when it's excusable (in an online game where most don't have time for the full sentence), and it's also a good Jackass Detector in most places... it's grammar mistakes that annoy me more.  |
