They all drive me nuts. I am the worst grammar nazi in my own mind. I don't ever comment on mistakes. That is unless someone calls someone else stupid, or calls them an idiot, and then makes a glaring grammar mistake.
I just read a post with a double negative, and no punctuation, and it made my head hurt.

Don't forget: then, than; except, accept; advise, advice; affect, effect

I don't really mind misspellings, I have them from time to time...but I swear to jeebus if I see one more person spell it CAMERO I'm going to lose my shit.

Not that I like the car....but for fuck's sake!

I've seen prolly for probably.

I am guilty of using this, fully knowing how to spell it properly. Just laziness.

But I hate the misuse of they're/their/there.

'Alot' isn't a word but 'allot' is.

There are many different levels of information we communicate to others, knowingly and unknowingly. Call it subtext.

I want to know why I can only thank this once????


Seriously, I have no problem with misspellings and typos - they happen to everyone from time to time.

But these aren't examples of that. These are examples of using a word that means something completely different, because it *sounds* the same when you say it out loud.

I realize that it's probably a "me problem", but reading thread after thread about "Squealing Breaks" makes my freaking eye twitch. My problem is that I don't sound out words as I read. My brain recognizes most common words, and I just see them and know what they mean. When a homophone is used incorrectly, it's like a speed bump in the middle of the sentence. I have to stop, go back, figure out what the writer *meant*, rather than what they *said*, and then try to continue on. Very frustrating.

It would seem that in a medium like this, where the written word is the only available method of communication, that people would *want* to strive to communicate as clearly as possible. No?
