"Whenever" and "Seen"

I don't think that anyone (including myself), was criticizing anyone in particular -- simply making an observation and expressing their personal opinion. I presume that is acceptable to y'all?????

Sometimes ignorance speaks for itself.

Agreed, and it's sad that everyone don't get the same chance in life. I grew up in a working class family and I didn't go to the best school, but later I took further education. However in Primary school, most, if not everybody, learnt the basics including how to spell I suppose we're lucky over here, we don't have to pay to be educated, unless you go to a private school. My parents could not afford that.

I know that, thank you!

I find it easier to read a text where the spelling is correct. Also, I enjoy speaking to someone who is well articulated and it's kinda neat when the language is flowing, don't ya' think.

My mom says "warsh", it drives me batty, but I don't say anything to her. She is almost 80, she's not changing her ways now.

Something that makes my brain bleed is using an adjective in place of an adverb. This was the headline in our local paper last week, "What Could We Have Done Different?" How about "Differently"? Like "Drive Slow!" .... how about "Slowly"? The adverb is dying a slow death in this country.

I sometimes misuse the words 'to and too'. I have to sometimes think of which spelling is correct. Also the words 'then and than' and 'affect and effect'. These words drive me nuts

I have looked them up but still have to stop and think. The English language is one of the toughest ones on the planet.

I work with a guy that says "ya know" in every other word. In one sentence he can use that 2 to 4 times, depending on the length of the sentence..

Another is the word "like".... "We "like" went to the store "like" to get some soda and I "like" spent my last $1."

Another is what I call the generic of the "F" word.. I hear that one so much that it drives me NUTS! (It also starts with "F".)

It is the repeting of the same word over and over in every sentence that drives me nuts no matter what the word is..

I use to say 'hey' ALL the time (I am going back a few years....like 20). My BF at the time use to say- every single time I said 'hey', this annoying saying. It annoyed me to no end, AND got me out of the habit.

The way I remember the difference between 'to and 'too' is if it means more than...it has more 'o' in it.
