QUOTE(jaeman @ Jan 10 2008, 04:03 AM)  You should get an English teaching credential and show people the way, especially with the future generations that grow up with sticky caps and cellphone texting language. I've considered such things, but I can't deal with whiny parents who don't believe that children should focus so much on grammar/English, but a combination of counting/clapping games/recesses/nap time. Give me a break; I really can't deal. |

"Supposedly, "supposively," and "supposably."
Ladies and gents, only the first one is right. |

"Complement" versus "compliment."
There is a difference, people. |

i hate it when you think about the stucture of a word for so long, that it just sounds wrong or weird, or even when theres a really easy word but you just cant remember how to spell it.

I know. I always have a tendency to spell some words the English way
There's actually some really big differences in spelling. I also write dialogue. |

I had no idea that dialog was the American spelling. I always thought dialogue was right!
Well it is right but not in the US |

QUOTE(aestheticYOU @ Jan 23 2008, 09:44 PM) I hate that most people don't know how to spell "experience" and "definitely". The numerous misspellings for "definitely" infuriate me. It is not "definately" (the most common misspelling), "deffinitely," "deffinately," "definatly," "definitley," "defiantly" (my favorite, because it's actually a whole other word), or whatever else you can come up with. DEFINITELY. One "F," no "A"! |
