Does anyone else get annoyed, however slightly, by all those posts where the author doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're"? Not to mention "lie" and "lay", "less" and "fewer", "its" and "it's" and so on...

I'm not talking just about this forum, but all over the place. What has happened to education that so many people make so many basic mistakes.

Rant over.

Shouldn't one learn the differences between: TWO, TOO and TO; as well as the additional miss-spelled words?

Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Just to annoy you, here is the corrected version:

"That's what I hate about these sites, there are too many English teachers. There should be a site just for them. They can go there and bitch and complain all they want."

I make that ten errors in 33 words. Proves my point. :lol: :lol:
