I recently got a new phone and it's autocorrect is so screwy it's not funny so at the moment I am feeling the pain of that which annoys me the most. My most hated spelling/typos are "Definately" the wrong your/you're, the wrong their/they're/there. I was tutoring first year uni students for a while last year and I was pulling my hair out reading all the typos and bad spelling. It's like they'd never heard of spell check or proof-reading. The funniest one however was an assignment on split brain operations and one of the medical terms is "corpus callosotomy", I read soooo many assignments in which patients had "corpus colostomy surgery". Now that doesn't sound like a nice operation to have!

This says much of a profile that claim to be "proffesionals", "successfull" or otherwise."Independant" ...oh please....I'd rather go run a blade down the chalk board.The use, abuse and misuse of :- it's, its'...Profiles that claim to possess "confidance".Even my web browser can spell check the above text (Google Chrome), so there really is no excuse not to tidy matters up somewhat.As for typos, one must be careful with reproducing internet/IT slang such as cutnpaste.rdgs (!)

I find it infuriating that some people make no effort to spell properly or even punctuate or use correct grammar. I abbreviate with people I am close to, but think its very bad manners to not make an effort with someone you don't know. I see a lot of profiles with text speak in their description! If they are that lazy, what are they like on a date? When I see a profile like that I just don't bother. I know I'm not perfect and make mistakes, but at least I make an effort!

Just texted me "I think you are layered by my attention". When I replied "Please explain", layered became flattered. I thought I was going to get lucky for a minute.

my pet hate is people not spacing sentences, the lack of use of commas and generally punctuation. Which I'm sure I've missed some punctuation my self in this sentence.While your at it can you all make your writing bigger. I hate getting my glasses to read a thread.

the Today I Cried thread there was a lot of critising of individuals for poor spelling and grammar .Some people were hesistant to post for fear of ridicule.Over the last few weeks I noticed it was creeping back. I thought that this topic would provide us with an opportunity to laugh at the silliness of mispelling and typos without personalising it.

Yep. This place can get confusing. This thread may not mention names but is still making fun of people. What annoys me are spelling nazis. Reminds me of a few bosses I have had. As long as a report looked pretty, all the headings bolded and the charts had pretty colours they were happy. Didn't matter if the content was wrong. LOL.

People just don't know what a proper dictionary is or even know how to pick one up...I guess it comes down to how our brains and then expressing into words are wired differently and how we use them together.I talk with a slight accent, so sometimes what I say and what I am thinking in my brain and how I type it comes out completely different..I have to stop and re-read back what I have written to double check my grammar...so I guess a lot of people don't do that. Also I had drummed in my head at school how to use the right words and pick up a dictionary...IE: their/there So every time I check my spelling I remember what I was taught and double check..I've noticed since my education to my daughters education that there really is not emphasis being taught as their used to be on grammar and it's now acceptable to shorten words and to write what they are thinking...IE: because = bcause..I'm a shocker at work - every time I am handed meeting minutes typed out to read by manager - I return them with highlighted spelling errors - people just don't double check THEIR grammar.

Quoting 'PoonWouldGo'Just flicked through a post titled "Today i cried" ...... but now i'm just confused Like Freya just mentioned, her other thread was aimed at people who were jumping on others because of their less-than-perfect spelling and grammar. This thread was meant to be about how errors can change someone's intention completely, in a funny way. But indeed, it is turning into another "I hate..." and "It annoys me when..." thread. C'mon peeps!

Since I don't read as much as I used, I find that I have lost the art of commas. I often look at my sentences and think, damn there should be lots of commas there. But where? Abbreviations and text speak are here to stay.

...so much of a 'spelling Nazi' as some but do prefer that you've got punctuation and your homophones in order. A big 'yes' for me about text talk...if U take the time to capitalize one letter, R U D 1 4 me, not likely. What do find hilarious at times is the use of words that are colloquial and mean very different things depending on your country of heritage...I have 'bonked' my hand under table at a formal dinner party and was shown no mercy even though it hurt and left a bit of a bruise as the table was hardwood. Don't even ask about innocently questioning a very nice-looking young lady 'Which team to you root for...I still don't understand how this game's played'....how in the hell did I know you'd go all military and take them back to the barracks before you did that, sorry! If you're in Central or South America and depending n the dialect...do not call someone a particular word that loosely translates to 'elbow'. I still get nervous standing at one of those long, open urinals when some guy says "How ya goin'...I know too that sooner or later I am going to blow it when someone asks and answers a question in one breath and really doesn't care about either?'G'day...how ya goin'...all right."*grab my chest and lean over faking a pained expression*No, goddamit I think I'm having a heart attack...call an ambulance! Pity we can't be perfect and spell check all forms of communication.

I inadvertently wrote porn instead of porn in a work document once upon a time. Fortunately it was picked up by another member of staff before it went too far. I know a girl from RHP who is dyslexic. We were messaging back and forth a bit before we met in person. Sometimes the messages seemed like they were written in code. It was a bit of a relief when she told me she was dyslexic. In between catching up I did a bit of editing on her profile.

Who's got it right? Many will blame "spellchecker", some will curse their iPhone, some just can't spell like we used to in the 20th century.Language evolves and if you think otherwise, try to work your way through some "original" english and see how your spelling, let alone your grammar scores.

Quoting 'ChiefGazza' texted... hmmm this one has always gotten on my goatI was always under the impression that the word text is both present tense and past tenseI hear them say it continually on the radio "joe blogs just texted in" Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it "joe blogs just text in" ?? "Text" used as a verb is a 21st Century (or late 19th Century if you want to get fancy) evolution of the term which arose as a shorthand for 'text messaging' (SMS.) It takes the standard verb forms of text, texting, texted. Or so I, and a quick Google confirmation, understand.

Quoting 'Ms_Devious' Maybe you meant to say 20th century? Those first phones in the late 19th century would have been a bitch to text on. To the untrained eye it may look like a classic typo in a thread about typos. However, I feel I can trust you all enough to reveal that the US Government since Ulysses S. Grant, 18th US President, has secretly had access to mobile phone technology for about 150 years, which was developed by the Illuminati as part of their intergallactic communications array. As you say though, they WERE a bitch to type on back then, as handsets only had 6 digits and the "4" key had a tendency to get stuck. To this day nobody can explain why.

But I think I can explain the problem with the "4" key. The Illuminati would avoid the numbers 4, 8, 10 and 12, as they were considered dangerous for several reasons. The number 7 was considered divine, and therefore also not used. Hence, the phones only contained six digits. As for the number 4 in particular: Aleister Crowley (High Priest of The Golden Dawn) wrote a book called "Book Four", which was a complete guide to Magic. So the "4" key could only be used by the Pindar (the leader of all Illuminati), to make calls to the original founder Adam Weishaupt, who had died in 1830. (Though I have it on good authority that in more recent times it has also been used to contact JFK, though his ties to the Illuminaty have yet to be officially confirmed.)
