I knew that. |

I've noticed that on DV and elsewhere, many people, even those who otherwise tend to have perfect grammar and spelling, get confused between a few very common words. It is pretty sad that spelling the words wrongly is so common, I actually notice when people manage to spell one of them correctly and praise them for it. |

That's hilarious, the Alot part. I don't get irritated at people using 'u' instead of 'you' and things like that. Those are just internet short-hands, even I use those. Everyone knows it's really 'you'. The problem with 'alot' is that people really think it's spelled like that. |

Correct grammar and spelling not only refrains others from becoming frustrated but also makes you seem more intelligent. Also, maybe it's just because I'm a grammer nazi but proper grammer, spelling, punctuation and literary format need to be essential guidelines for most forums. |

And "grammar". |

hasn't this thread already been done |

Yeah, I'm guilty as hell for using "alot". I know that there is suppose to be a space between "a" and "lot", but for some reason, I still spell it that way. |

I doubt this exact thread with a similar OP has been done. |

I only get annoyed when people don't use "good" and "well" correctly. Well is an adverb and good is an adjective, it isn't that hard. |

Wouldn't it be nice if it was possible to point out in a nice, respectable manner when someone's grammar is wrong? That way you could learn from your mistakes, and hopefully avoid making them in the future. But, alas, such corrections are often interpreted as personal attacks. |

"its" is confusing because usually you put apostrophes to indicate possession, like "the bird's wings," etc. But you say "the bird flew with its wings," without an apostrophe. I think "it's" is used as a replacement for "it is," but nothing else. |

I can has Google to help me spell more gooder. |
|
the things that really get my is when u type like a lzyass person and i hate not capitalizing the letter i use no punctuation and in one big runon sentence. |
