s/o What misspelling bothers you most?

[georgina]

Many of those mentioned previously bother me. Also the use of 'prolly' instead of probably. I think it is in the dictionary now, but I still cringe when I see it written out! Probably because I am old.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Not really misspellings and it doesn't really bother me but I really don't see the need for the various spellings of women such as Womyn, Womxn, Womban, Wimmin, or Womon.

I really dislike the intentional misspellings of words to try to make them cute or whatever it is they're trying to do.

Remember we have many friends across the pond here. Some of their words are spelled different.

Neither side of The Pond officially auses an a!ternate spelling of dining. And both sides of The Pond can or should reasonably be expected to know it's 'Ohana.

Well if we weren't all social distancing, you could head to the Shoppes at Rivre View Pointe and drown your sorrows at the Irishe Pub.

I Said some words. I said nothing about dining,

Pikes Place Market. Its Pike Place Market people.

[paisleys]

-could (would, should) of instead of could (would, should) have

-using a instead of an "Does anyone have a apple?"

...I won't get into 'I seen"

 

[ford family]

The one that annoys me is the misuse of phase instead of faze.
You often see "it didn't phase me" which is meaningless. Also, "it didn't faze me" is much easier to write anyway!

affect/effect

 

[dish rag]

I’m not bothered at all by misspelled words.

 

[slpeters]

More a grammar thing but it really bothers me when people use whom when they mean who. Interestingly, it doesn't bother me when people use who when they mean whom.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I am a bad speller so I try not to judge others. But "busses" bothers me, even though it is technically a valid spelling.

 

[WebmasterKathy]

This is not a misspelling, but those who refer to an income tax REFUND as an income tax RETURN make me cringe.

Your income tax RETURN is the package of forms you file, people!!!

 

[momto2girls]

Loose when they mean lose (and vice versa)
Payed instead of paid
Per say instead of per se
Prolly instead of probably

I agree on all of these and these:

misuse of they're, their, there, to, too, you're, your, desert, dessert, also it is should have or could have not should of or could of

Irregardless-no just no.
You see, the word “regardless” (the correct version) already contains the negative suffix “-less” and means “without regard”. So, if we were to add another negative prefix to that word such as “ir-”, it would contain a double negative and mean “without without regard”.
To give you another reason why this is completely wrong, it’s because the English language doesn’t allow double negatives to occur in a single sentence or word. (from lingQ)

Jeepers spelled as Geepers. Never saw THAT until I came here!

Jeepers spelled as Geepers. Never saw THAT until I came here!

Not terribly bothered by misspellings on a public forum. For education or work, don’t like loose/lose or there/their

 

[FlightlessDuck]

-could (would, should) of instead of could (would, should) have

My 8th grade English teacher SLAMMED me for this. I've never forgotten.
