I have discovered that there are two words that are constantly spelled incorrectly on YA…Which two?
Favorite Answer
your – you’re
there – their- they’re
were – where ( I see this one a lot, and have to stop to re-read to figure out what they are talking about)
right – write
know – now
have – half
it’s – its
to – too – two
then – than
were – where – we’re
here – hear
lose – loose
Of – off
Then I hate the coded, nonesense stuff – sounds like rap music on a bad day – I just usually tell them to learn English and ask a question when they can write properly
Bear-bare
Animal-Naked
Bear is also used in a sentence thus:”She cannot bear people who do not use Spell Check.”
I would say “you” and “are”, as it’s currently “cool” to misspell them as “U” and “R”.
Barring those, not knowing when to use “you’re” vs. “your” and “its” vs. “it’s” runs rampant here.
And what’s up with you people in the Diet & Fitness section who always want to “loose” some weight? You all embarrass me with your ignorance!
1) their, they’re, there
2) your, you’re
not to mention all the: plz answr da kwestion if U can plz dis is 2 da ppl out dere….. crap……………*sighs* gosh that type of writing gives me a headache! i refuse 99% of the time to even anwer questions typed like that!………………. *arrguh*! annoying! lol
Another favorite of mine is “looser” in place of “loser.”
(The two you chose will depend on which categories you hang out in.)
