Ex. When people use There/Their/Theyre and Youre/Your
-Its not annoying if they only did it a couple times by accident but if they constantly do it then it's kind of annoying.
| Yes! Its so annoying | 61 | |
| No it's not normal | 3 | |
| No... I do that | 3 | |
| Yes it's normal but who cares? | 12 |
would it help if i pointed out that they're/their/there aren't synonyms, for if they were, they'd have relatively similar meanings and thus be interchangeable? since having a tenuous grasp of the english language clearly bothers you.
YOUR welcome,

I love directing them to this site: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling
A couple of others I forgot:
"A lot" is two words, not one, and it is not SUPPOSED TO be "suppose to". I guess people these days aren't USED TO the fact that this one should not be written as "use to."
They are not synonyms, but I get annoyed so badly by this, too.
THERE is a big difference between homophones and THEIR meanings and spellings. THEY'RE not interchangeable!
You should know YOUR homophones and basic grammar skills by the time YOU'RE old enough to use the Internet.
TOO many people still can't seem TO grasp the difference between these TWO words, either.
It makes me LOSE my mind when people are so LOOSE with their spelling.
Others that grind my gears are here/hear (note the last one ending in "ear"!), effect/affect, and breath/breathe. There is DEFINITELY no "A" in this word, it is DISGUSTING how people spell this word with a "C" instead of a "G", and let's not forget of vs. have!
Did you delete mine and someone else's comment, just because you didn't like them?
