The most misspelled word on forums...

[Flash Gordon]

Me too! rops:

I never plan on becoming a secretary....urrrr administrative assistant anyways

 

[D.Acker]

One that drives me just bonkers is break vs. brake. Don't see it as much here, but this is not the forum for those kinds of issues.

Nothing like "My breaks don't work well, what's wrong?" Or "I hate when "I brake something fixing something else."

Camero vs Camaro is another one.

 

[mwtaco]

I'm a huge grammar nazi, so I definitely notice when someone misspells a word or uses the incorrect form of a word. I understand we're only human and we make mistakes, so that doesn't really bother me.

The one thing I do hate however, is ghetto speak. Or when people purposely misspell words because they're lazy or they're just clueless.

i think you should also use a comma before "however"

^^^^:iagree:^^^^

Because I was a little clumsy, I was forced to discard my Nikon S70 camero.

I may be mistaken, but shouldn't the i in your post be capitalized?

And to, too and two...

I make all these mistakes all the time. I know the difference but sometimes my fingers type faster than I think and spell check just checks to make sure the word is spelled correctly, not if it's the correct word.

Another set of words that get by spell check is form and from, it's easy to mistype the word but if they are spelled correctly then spell check doesn't flag them.

This is my exact problem, my brain thinks at 50 wpm and yet my fingers type at 75 wpm lol.

"I seen."

yes, you are mistaken. capitalizing is against my religion.

 

[oldmodman]

Here is one that may be intentional.

Teh instead of the.

Used to see it quite often. Not as much anymore.

 

[davey g-force]

I would like to add:

Interchanging your and you're.

How about of in place of have? "Should of" in place of "Should have".

I also see than and then interchanged incorrectly quite often.

Another fun one to look for, especially on automotive-related forums, is the replacing of bumper with bumber.

One that drives me just bonkers is break vs. brake.

YES! ^^ Those are all pet hates of mine! I never cease to be amazed by how bad spelling and grammar is in general on internet forums. For some reason though, the detailing forums seem to be of a much higher standard, which I find comforting.

It's gauge, not guage

I must admit I only found out the correct spelling of gauge just a couple of days ago. I had been spelling it wrong all this time! :dblthumb2:

 

[TLMitchell]

Those two are the ones I have noticed the most. Doesn't bode well for the whole Phonetics reading system now, does it?

I'm guilty of that, but it is not a spelling mistake but rather a typing mistake. It's like hte or teh ( I tend to do hte more often) is ingrained in muscle memory now. I wear out my damned back space key fixing it!!!
