There, their they're, your and you're

I think my favorite one was "musturbrate"

It was in the headline question, then ALSO spelled the same way in the actual question, like two more times! Musturbrate... *smh*

Ohhhhhh I cannot STAND when people misuse "their", "they're", and "there". It hurts me on the inside, for real. How can people be that stupid? Especially if they're old enough to have passed the 6th grade. It just goes to show you how stupid today's young generation is as an average. Another thing that bugs the living bejeebers out of me is the misuse of "you're" and "your". I think that disturbs me than the "their", "they're", and "there" misuse, actually.

For you youngsters out there, here's a little tip to help you appear more educated in the real world, as well as the internet world:

"Your" is to describe something of which you possess. "You lost your minds." Or "Your cat ran away."

"You're" is a contraction, to simplify the words "You are". Examples would be "You're happy." Or "You're in the kitchen making lunch."

Sieg heil, mein Grammar Führer.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Spellcheck!

Here's a link I think you'll love!

I personally will ignore spelling issues such as those, UNLESS the person in question is calling someone else "stupid."

It ruins the whole "I'm smarter than you are" theme if you can't spell your insult properly.

Annoying. I really hate it when I'm innocently perusing craigslist and the person confuses sell for sale.

Example: For Sell: One tennis shoe, will sale for $2

The most ridiculous thing I read on this site all the time is:-

I might LOOSE my bf/gf. Why, where are they tied up?

To LOSE as in LOSS.

Or LOOSE as in NOT TIGHT!!!

AAAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!

The misuse of "than" and "then" really bugs me.

I actually deleted most of my social networking site accounts because the number of spelling mistakes I saw pissed me off too much. Seriously, how hard is it to spell and distinguish between simple words?

this story has been overdone a thousand times.

Doesn't bother me much. I know some very intelligent people that can't spell or articulate in a written manner worth anything. They try, but spell-check and proofreads are a must for them ^^; For people I don't know, I just hope that they are good at something else and not trying to form a career based off of written communication.

It's near incoherent typing that I cannot stand. I have met people who type/write so poorly that I have to sit there much longer than I normally would to try to piece together exactly what message they are trying to convey. Usually their oral communication parallels. Go figure.

I only just found ound out that havn't is spelt haven't and i looked so long at both that neither look correct now.

I'll admit it, I'm a grammar retard but I swear it isn't on purpose. :'(

Your a moron. Their so many arse holes on this site. Tell you're momma my house at 9 pm Wednesday.

I'm 99% sure your a woman.

Distribute copies of this post to BLACK/HISPANIC people in your local GHETTO areas.

Typos are generally accepted but if someone doesn't know would've is a contraction for would have and writes 'would OF' then they just seem stupid.

WTF does would OF mean?

should've, would've, could've were the last words of a fool.

Anyhow, I believe people like to be educated / corrected in order to improve their posts.

It only annoys me when it happens constantly, such as when someone types a story that is so grammatically incorrect and spelled so horribly that I'd like to punch them. Otherwise, we all make simple rushed mistakes, though I do re-read and try to edit my comments before the 15 minutes are up.

Voted the first option, and I really dislike when people do that.

it really annoys me when people get this agitated with all of this. ok, grammar in school/work is important.. i get that. however, with technology e.g. text, twitter etc.. it doesn't have to be perfect.. it's short hand. & if people can understand what you mean... does it really matter?!?!!!

I'm a linguistics major, speak two languages, read English literature frequently, and typically try to have my grammar at least be acceptable. I'm exactly the type of person you would expect to be a grammar Nazi. However, I honestly couldn't care less if somebody does this. As long as I know what they mean, I don't give one shit if they use the wrong one. I don't understand how anyone can care this much about a common, petty, and understandable mistake.

Well were not responsible for you're feelings ;)

It drives me crazy when people do that!! Nothing irks me more.

The latest I've seen..more specifically here, is the misuse of then/than. God knows I'm guilty of typos, especially on my phone, but come on! Also, less/ fewer and between/among.

I am a frequent offender of improper use of the words your/you're. Really out of pure laziness and its extremely irritating when I get a reply and it's just some jack ass correcting my grammar. As long as what was said is legible enough to get their point across and doesn't look like a 14 year old girl texting it shouldn't be a problem. Internet is just a stream of consciences to me I say shit and move on, no spell check or filter. I have not once felt the need to correct random peoples grammar.

While you are here, can you tell me where you put the apostrophe in the possessive case for people whose surname ends in Z? Is it the same as names ending with S? Or not?

Never had a good answer to this one.

I try not to do that, but I'm sure I've overlooked one or the other before by accident.

Can't understand why people cant spell correctly and use proper punctuation! Are they just lazy or stupid?

Is it just me or are THEIR plenty of other things that are far more important to be posting about?

To the OP you either have no life OR have way too much on your hands. Perhaps YOUR an idiot.
