It truly saddens me to see some of the spelling errors we see on this board. All in all, most people spell pretty well but it disturbs me that some people can't spell any better than they do. It seems that someone starts spelling a particular word wrong and it catches on. Like I said in another thread, put a dictionary by the computer or use spell check if available

My latest pet peeve is the misuse of lose and loose. When did people start loosing weight??

Spelling mistakes annoy me a bit, but I suppose a lot of us make typos now and again The mix up of there, their and they're is something I usually notice though

I am not a perfect speller but I hate it when people misuse the words there and thier and it really bothers me when people use "i" instead of a capital "I". I have seen it on commercials and it's so annoying, IMO.

One of my spelling peeves is:

Exited. Exited is not when you are happy about something - EXCITED is the correct word/spelling.

I see it used a lot on here.

The only thing I really can't stand is when people don't use punctuation and their sentences just run on and on and.....I get out of breath just reading them!

Yes, I remember reading that post, so, I now have my Webster's Dictionary near the computer.

My pet peeve, since registering on a forum, is the use of acronymns!!!

I don't use them, I won't !!!! LOL, BYB, ROTFL, IMO, and a few more that I gave up trying to figure out---- by now, my 4th grade teacher is certainly rolling over in her grave!!!

I am a spell checker, because of my 4th grade teacher!!!!! She was very, very strict!!!!!!! But, ---she taught me so much!!!!!! and , I was so lucky as an adult, to tell her just how wonderful a teacher she was!

I have to laugh out loud when some one corrects my spelling on this forum. So, please, if or when you spot incorrect spelling or punctuation within my replies, give me a kick in the pants!!!!!!!!

I have college credits in English!!!!!! So, I deserve it!!!!!!!
