You know, I've been having troubles with your and you're latley. I clearly know the difference, but I find myself typing you're all the time when I mean you're and just barely catching my mistake.

That site is good! Today on the weather channel the announcer misused a saying, I can't remember what now but I laughed out loud and my dad was like, "What are you laughing at??!"

The *irregardless* mistake mentioned before.( My boss says that!!)
The *loose* for *lose* mentioned before.
Personally, i'm a decent speller for long words.
But sometimes i get the easiest everyday words wrong.
*Definite*, mentioned before, I know I get wrong sometimes.
*Probably*, I spelled wrong for awhile.
I think b/c you get used to doing it wrong, and no one calls you on it, then when it's brought to your attention, you feel like an ass for having done it wrong so much.
I remember having problems with *with* and *which*in grade school, but actually did pretty well in spelling bees. Go figure!
Mostly i try not to let the mistakes bother me too much, because so many times it's either a kid or someone with a bit of a learning disorder, so....

Have you noticed that Pet Talk has engendered its own spelling controversy? Is it furminology or furmanology? Inquiring minds need to know!

Seeing as the root word is terminology, and has nothing to do with a certain Los Angeles police officer, I believe it should be furminlogy!

The Mayor has spoken! I think that decision can be considered final.

haha I myself also have a lot of mistakes as english its not my primary language but many of them are because im lazy to capitaliza the "i"´s or to place the ´in "i´m" "he´s" and the such.......sorry about that and also i very frecuently type "adn" instead of "and" i think i type one letter a bit faster than the other one adn sometime i just dont know or remember how to write it right.........but sorry to all........also sometimes i miss write somethings to get a nice unique form like "beourthday" as "birthday"......ok i think i made my point sorry but.........

It's the laziness, not honest mistakes, to which we object!

I used to have very good spelling and grammar, but that skill seems to be fading

A couple misspellings that always give me a chuckle are.....

grammer for grammar

alter for altar

That last is one that is pretty funny when used by someone in a religious discussion
