Alright, so whenever I post in a thread, write a pm, or give someone a user note and type your, 80% of the time it ends up being you! I find it extremely annoying, obviously.
Does anyone else constantly misspell a word like that and not catch it until later? Please tell me I'm not alone! :(
I always type "figurine" as "figuring"
Well, I don't be on this site as often as my brother. But I'm pretty sure I would mispell a word or two. I don't think it would be a big problem.
I have trouble with the word plagerism. It is actually plagiarism! Did you know?!
Typos will be the death of me I do that way too much.:cry:
Accept the truth Tempty your all alone!:tongue:Quote:

Also I think the "i" key is too close to the "u" key when spelling the word "duck." :(
Very clever mistake...Quote:

Uhh, I don't recall having any trouble like that. I've occasionally made a typo with random words but it's never the same one over and over again. It's always just a standard typo.
However, with inquiry/enquiry, I have issues. I know both spellings are correct, but I hate it being spelt with an e. Inquisition is a word that comes from inquire, and you never get the spelling enquisition do you? The English language is strange and can appear quite fickle at times.
I think grammar more then anything. Their, there. Fire Fox is assume with spell check.
no...i don't mipssell andything.
seriously though, i make it my duty to edit everything obsessivley.
"Know" I always mispell know like "knwo". Stupid typos.
Oh, I agree with you on that one, Pam. :p But I wouldn't be talking about misspellings cause I misspell wierd all the time. I've done it since I was..about 6 or 7. And I will probably never change that, but I might be forced to later on in life.
And as you all know, I'm obsessed with Panic! at the Disco. If someone forgets the ! at the end, I get a bit annoyed and if they spell the lead singers name Brandon instead of Brendon, I get annoyed also. I'm a SAD individual. :(
I don't think I misspell, I'm just eating some of the letters sometimes! :drool:
when i type also it always ends up as alos:mad:
I always spell check my grammar.
I always spell anther as onther, its not a misspelling but my own use of the word so to speak ^^
irony ----> ironing
Bible ----> BiBle
and ----> nad
I lol'ed when I typed the last one.

As for annoying misspellings, I don't make any out of habit. 8D
I'm not otooo sur about hwaht I typoe wrong ofetn enoug to care to fix it

Grammar errors sometimes bug me, but spelling errors don't simply because I can't spell worth a damn myself.
I make a lot of mistakes. Spelling, grammar, pronunciation, capitalization, you name it! :tongue:
i Can never remember how to spell apparently and similar words (gess i shud luk it up but hey)
I frequently miss the apostrophe in who're. A spell-checker won't pick that up, so I always double-check visually.
Not the kind of typo one would want to write in an essay or a job application letter...
Big D: Freudian slip?
My most hated typo is a simple one
it's TEH
I can't spell favourite. Favirote. Faviroute?
On paper- the = th
and colour = coulour
You shouldn't use contractions in essays or job applications anyway. Looks bad.Quote:

Why the hell would a mis-spelling provoke an emotion strong enough as annoyance? Good God, ignore it or correct it, get over it & get on with your life.
No misspellings bother me. Ive gotten used to writing 'Color' rather than 'Colour' in HTML etc so its not too bad. I do hate all the american different spellings, as sometimes I hand in essays with spellings I thought were right, and got back "AMERICAN SPELLING!!".
Thats kinda annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it. If I make a misspelling, I just change it.
I spell grammar as grammer without realising.
portuaguese... :eep: It's portuguese
wll i doesnt think i ever dos do tha:love:
I do this a lot:
JUst

LIke
Oh man just looking at it gets me all riled up. I hate doing that. I wish my fingers wouldn't smurf up the shift so much.
Any essay marker who demands American spelling deserves to be shotQuote:

I once asked my maths class how to spell definitely, cause I had no idea. Neither did any of them. Now I know how to. :D
And yes, coulour gets me quite a bit too.
No, I was getting told off for USING American spelling xDQuote:

Its rare that I typo. Nothings ever all that consistent when I do. Misspellings however are usually just ignorance. Difference has two f's while definitely has one. That's a bother. But you learn. I think English and American-English should be interchangeable. Sometimes I like to add a U to words for flare. I'm in love with the backspace and a little too concious of what I'm typing sometimes
That's pretty strict. If I happened to type/write 'colour' or the like, it wouldn't be marked on our papers.Quote:

I try my best to not make spelling mistakes, but if it do I'm usually quick to fix it. It's very rare for me to make grammar mistakes.:D
when i start getting ahead of myself, i type too fast and my words that start with th get mixed into starting with ht
I.e
i like htat
I use the commonwealth spellings of colour and the likebecause I am an aging dork.
For many years, I was convinced that definitely was definately. I went so far as to actually phonetically pronounce it as I spelled it.
I commonly make typographical errors when typing, but I am diligent in always reading what I have written prior to posting.
