:rofl: Lara..


I agree Red, I hate words that are used in the wrong context...spelling mistakes are easy to make, we all do it if we're typing in a hurry or if someone is dyslexic but using words like 'loose' instead of lose which seems to be endemic, or 'of' in a sentence when it should be 'have' for example does get my hackles rising..

I never EVER make that mistake but I have seen it alot. *Smile*

 

[Ameriscot]

I think we all make spelling mistakes like that at some point Annie, people who use words like of instead of have in a sentence or as we said Loose instead of lose, on a regular basis( it's even worse when they say ''loosing'' as in ''john was on the loosing team.'').:aargh:.... clearly are just being lazy grammatically..

True. Good grammar was drummed into us as kids. I've always been a good speller as well.

That's telling them.

Looking back to the 'Piggy' cartoon, surely it should read "Owing to", not "Due to".

 

[Meanderer]

"Usage Note: Due to has been widely used for many years as a compound preposition like owing to, but some critics have insisted that due should be used only as an adjective. According to this view, it is incorrect to say The concert was canceled due to the rain, but acceptable to say The cancellation of the concert was due to the rain, where due continues to function as an adjective modifying cancellation".

Your dinner vs you're dinner.
One leaves you nourished

LOL. And along the same lines: Let's eat grandma. vs Let's eat, grandma.

My ugly what?
The idiot didn't even know the
