These should be bannable offenses.
 
:mad:

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!!!!!!

:mad:


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. :D

It's "loose" not "lose".

4. You weren't "dominate", you were "dominant."

gottimd 01-20-2005 05:39 PM

"It's nuc-u-lar, Lisa, nuc-u-lar." Irregardless of what the dictionary says.

AnalBumCover 01-20-2005 05:39 PM
5. "Definitely." NOT "definately" or "definetly."

SD... Your write! (I notice this alot...)

Actually what annoys me are when grown adults use the substitution of numbers and single letters 4 words. C what I mean?

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...

u and r.

Those are letters. Not words.

edit: Got beat to it. But adults, children, I don't care. No one should ever use such idiocy. Ever.

LionsFan10 01-20-2005 06:09 PM
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
Interesting, I generally "see" words when they are spoken. But not like those thought balloons.

I actually like that. Irregardless [looks around the room approvingly], it's funny that it would be YOU that would criticize dudespeak.

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"!!!

Argh!!!!!!!!!

gottimd 01-20-2005 08:17 PM
The "If you will" comment at the end of a statement has always bothered me. If you will what?

NevStar 01-20-2005 08:21 PM
It's not "Dat boy run so good." It's: "That young man runs very well."

Bad-example 01-20-2005 08:35 PM
1 - "Boyz" is not a word.

2 - See 1.

Poli 01-20-2005 08:36 PM
The Run and Shoot should be a bannable offense. You don't see much of it anymore. Or is it, "any more"?

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

AnalBumCover 01-20-2005 09:00 PM
Anyone else besides me initially read the title as "These should be bananable offenses."?

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. :)
