$oE , destroying MMO since 1999.

Ok, I'll start it off, this is about common words, not exotic ones. Although I don't mind if you'd like to post them.

 

Rediculous = Ridiculous

Your = You're

Toughts = Thoughts

 

This is for my own education =d.

I intend to live forever -- So far so good!

This is a can of worms that's been opened before.  It went about 5 or 6 pages and there were equal ammouts of people on both sides arguing for proper gramar or lack there of because they're on a forum and "people will still get what they're saying"

We must abolish ignorance or we will fail.

I miss you're many times because I type just above 60 words a minute. But the most annoying misspelled words on any game forums are.............


FANBOI = FANBOY

LOLS = LOL there is no S on the end of laughing out loud.

DUN = Done or in most cases they mean don't = do not.

AMIRIGHT = Lazy people trying to be clever. Hit the space button to seperate these, it just looks like a child trying to be cool. Am I right?

 

Well no sense on going on the list, because I often misspell or mess up easy grammar  when I type fast, but the issue lies with people who do a whole paragraph with misspelled words and grammar. The English language is not even spoken correctly in America. Even foreigners can speak English correctly. I guess we failed once YO-MTV Raps came on the air back in the 80's. It all went down hill after that. I blame Rap for killing the English language and structure.

As said above this opens a huge debate and more then just spelling, it often turns into a grammar thread.

Discuss.

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

Teh is a purposful mispelling.

A lot of times I'll leave out a "n't"  making something positive instead of negative

Not only that but when you type sometimes you push a key quicker then the other and result in a misspell. Many dyslexia people do this while typing and need to keep re-reading what they typed to make corrections.
