These should be bannable offenses.

Ben E Lou · 01-20-2005, 05:35 PM

1. "Alot" is *NOT* a word!!!! Two words, people. TWO words. "A lot."
2. "Your going to lose." is WRONG!!! It is "you're."

WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT????? ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Carry on. I just have to vent that frustration every few months.

SackAttack · 01-20-2005, 05:36 PM

I'll support this as long as we can add

3. It's "Xbox," not "X-Box"

to the list.

Buccaneer · 01-20-2005, 05:49 PM

"Irregardless" is not a word.

Coffee Warlord · 01-20-2005, 05:49 PM

All those, while annoying, are not as bad as...

Those are letters. Not words.

I don't know why, but a lot of people even in an office setting spell coming with two "M's", so it looks like this ... "comming," talk about annoying.

Godzilla Blitz · 01-20-2005, 06:13 PM

I often wonder if the "your"/"you're" error and the "their"/"there"/"they're" errors don't reflect on cognitive processing preferences to a degree. I've understood the differences since I was young, but even now I often mistype them. I think I "hear" words instead of "see" words when I write, and that leads me somehow to simply type the wrong word frequently.

For my entire adult life, whenever I send something important out, I make one extra editing pass and look specifically for these errors. It has nothing to do with my not knowing the rule, I just consistently screw them up when I type.

Kodos · 01-20-2005, 06:16 PM

I do this too. I know the rules regarding their/there, your/you're,to/too, and similarly its/it's. I know them to the point that it annoys me when I note others misusing them. That notwithstanding, I often read my posts or other writings, and find that I have misused those very words.

I do agree with you I apparently hear those words instead of actually seeing exactly what I have typed.

Maple Leafs · 01-20-2005, 08:12 PM

People who use "it's not funny" for emphasis.

"I'm so thirsty, it's not even funny".

Great. So at what level of thirst would the humor kick in, then?

Grid Iron · 01-20-2005, 08:17 PM

It's not "FOF2", it's "EA Sports Front Office Football"!!!

It's not "Dat boy run so good." It's: "That young man runs very well."

1 - "Boyz" is not a word.

2 - See 1.

At a level higher than their current level of thirst, obviously. Duh.

No, see, doesn't it imply that the humor comes at a level below the current level? And that the thirst has since become so great that the humor has now been lost?

I can't be the only one who wonders about these things.

No it doesn't. Only the punctuation that applies directly to the passage being quoted goes inside the quotes. In this case, "lose" is not a complete sentence and so it doesn't need a period.

You see, I was referring to a football offense instead of a grammatical error.
