i understand the typos and lack of punction for relaxed speed purposes, such as how i dont use apostrophes or capitalize the begining words of my sentences. but some times when i read an email or a post things will just stick out to me like HUGE EYESORES!!!
such as people confusing the differences of theyre there and their. or people just spelling basic words incorrectly. i just read some posts about highschool and there was a post that used 'great' like 'grate', could this be a typo? i think not. maybe if they typed 'graet', but the e at the end is so far from where it should be, plus i think they were trying to make the 'a' strong by putting the 'e' at the end. and no, they werent grating anything like cheese, they were using great like excellent. there were some more things in that thread that stuck out to me but i forgot em already..
anyone else have this problem? those kinds of mistakes stand out so much to me, and i cant help it but to feel the need to say something, usually to my brother or girlfriend when i catch them doing something like that wrongly, it probably makes me look like a know-it-all or pompous jackass. but i cant help it. :D anyone else notice these kinds of things? |

a quote from the begining of my post accounting for my own lack of puncuation, its not those things i was refering to, its simple misselings like when people spell 'nite' instead of 'night'. :/
*edit yes i do know i consistently have TYPOS in my posts and everything, but typos do not bother me! :D* |

People spelling lose as loose is a classic example.
I always notice simple errors like that. |
