Annoying little things

My mom has that problem. She got sick several years ago (in the early '90s). For almost 2 years she had no voice. We didn't know if it'd ever came back, but it did. There were a lot of things she could no longer pronounce after that though.

Your mom got an illness, thats horrible :(

I was raised french for the first 3 yrs of my life. Then my sister was born & she had hearing issues, & becasue my dad couldn't speek french I was forced to learn english cold turkey & then was dumpped into an all english school. SO needless to say I had no was of talking to people so I shut myself out of most things. My sister & I both have Dylexia (sp?) so that didn't help me out any at all :mad: I only started to open up to people when I was 14yrs old. I met a girl at school & we became best friends. She knew I was a wee bit slow in the whole language department, but she knew I was smart & we both LOVED critters of all sorts. He folks really liked me & so not only did I have someone around my age to talk to but adults too. So i'd have to say I've been openly talking for 9yrs, but I still shut myself out of conversations sometimes, but I try not to let it bother me too much. PT has let me practice my english & since I'm forced to read everything I get to learn proper spellings. I learned that a lot was 2 words from PT & NOT school. & its usually threads like this one that hurt me the most, as people go on & on & on about how they HATE spelling & grammer errors :(

OR "wit" instead of "With"!! :mad:

I also hear:

"Stole 'd" or "Stoleded" instead of "Stole"

"done did it" instead of "Already did it"

LOL, I'm kind of used to it now, since I hear it a lot but it does bug me at times. :p

I DO say ain't or aint (however it should be spelled since it's not a word:p) a lot!! :p lol

I guess it's just a hillbilly thing!?! hah:p

I heard a woman in Trader Joe's yesterday asking the clerk if the coffee was "grounded" :rolleyes:

I also hear "flustrated" and of course, Axe for ask

I also hate when people use a ton of smilies when they are making a post, it is hard to read imo.

OR when people type "wat" instead of "what"!! :mad::mad:

Is it really THAT hard to add an H?!?!

I don't want to be the one pointing it, since I am not a native English speaker, but GRAMMER is incorrect, the correct spelling is GRAMMAR :)

With me, grammar mistakes of any kind bother me. I have to agree with the poster who said that misplaced apostrophes are awful. I actually returned some Christmas cards to the store last year because they were printed with a grammatical error in them. When I was looking for some to replace them, I read very carefully. :)

I have long maintained that, were I ever a gazillionaire, I would institute and fund a nationwide, mandatory-attendance, full-day apostrophe seminar. No exceptions. We'd just go over and over and over and over it until EVERYONE understood, and we'd never have to see "All sandwich's half price" ever again.

I hate it when people

tYpE lIkE ThIs... ItS vReY aNnOyInG

and people who type
you "U" and are as "R" :rolleyes:
like its really that hard to push two more keys :rolleyes:
