keep seeing this one a lot: IT'S "BREATHE" not "BREATH"

[datasuspect]

a person BREATHES.

a person can take a BREATH.

1. Around here, "breaks" are the hydro-mechanical devices on vehicles.

Consider yourself lucky.

3. Around here, there are no "threads"...

Only treads.

2. Don't forget "lightening" instead of lightning

[Ordr]

4. Every breathe you take...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. just breathe

in and out.
kind of like that other thing.

6. The wurst part of it is that spellcheck

will tell you only that the spelling is correct or incorrect, not that the usage is wrong. So, even the transposition of letters to a prefectly normal word like "sue" instead of "use" will not be caught by a spellcheck, since it ain't wrong ;)

I usually proof my posts at least once, though in this case, I am leaving some "incorrect" words in place as an example of innocent mistakes.

At the same time, be aware that not everyone is strong in spelling. I had a friend in college (or is that collage?) that was a genius in maths (European plural for "math") but couldn't spell his way out of a wet paper bag

7. another one that bugs the shit out of me: confusing "you're" with "your"

DUH. 2nd grade English, people! :eyes:

8. Hang lose, don't get uptight about spelling like a looser.

[calico1]

9. It's "across" not "acrosst."

Also, that thing you pull out from your dresser is called a "drawer" not a "draw"

corn in a can is called "canned corn" not "can corn"


It's "supposedly" not "supposebly"
