Consider this for a spell

What spelling errors drive you crazy?

What have you noted on this site that you feel needs a mention?

I don't mean simple typing errors either like "teh" for "the" and I am not thinking of the difference between UK and US spelling but words which...

we both should know... like the following...

Definitely... not definately or defenitely.

Our... not "are" when you really mean "our" as in "ours - belonging to us"

Voila !... not Walla ! (Voila is an emphatic french expression - go look it up )

Labia... not labea ( If you don't know what that is you can look that up too - you won't be disappointed ! )

OK.. .your turn now...

advise for advice
concillor for counselor
their for they're (or vice versa)
loose for lose
your for you're (or vice versa)

more to come...

pain in lieu of pang
throws " " " throes
not " " " naught
aught " " " ought
low " " " lo
hypocracy " " " hypocrisy [which I believe is a decent portmanteau when describing most current western government]
reign " " " rein

I state these at the risk of calling attention to my own errors, and with admission of confusing those listed on subsequent occasions. I would never correct an acquaintance though, not only in fear of reprisal, but because it would be a backhanded method of dismissing their sentiment. I would and do correct confidantes, and appreciate when I am corrected by them, in the effort to spare the embarassment of it being noted by an antagonist deficient in tact.

Yes, I agree...you have to watch out for those antagonists deficient in tact (lol)

These also come to mind...

Should of...instead of "should have..." (same with could of...and would of )

Sort after... instead of "saught after..."

Than... instead of "then"

We should all keep in mind there could be some dyslexics on this site and are unbeknowst to them are spelling wrongly.

The one that really gets me are abbreviated text.

DeY SpEeK like DiS and FiNk It Is KeWl

ARGHHH!!!

Pardon, the pedanticitis is flaring up again. When you get into that frame of mind it is hard not to play the role out to the finish.

True, there are some dyslexics and there are also people for whom English is a second, third, fourth (you get the picture) language. But amongst those of us who have no excuse, my personal crime is 'definately' - I always seem to type it, and sometimes I don't correct it. Mea culpa.

'Pedanticitis' - like it.

"Mea culpa" - I like it !
