The idea of "correcting" someone to say "whom"? WTF??? That is one I likely wouldn't even notice.
Totally … some things are so easy to self-check … maybe people are just too lazy?Affect vs effect..
Most of mine though are verbal stupidity like liberry and eyebaw or the worst.... CHIPOLTAY....like ... look at the fucking letters...
Homophones are the worst. You
only care because you’ve been taught to. Never once have you been speaking to someone and stopped to think “do they mean ‘you are’ here?” It’s impossible to mistake the meaning in speech, and if you haven’t been taught to do so in writing you wouldn’t either.
Rather than "I live to serve," I once texted "I live to sever." Entirely different connotation.
SEVER!!!!
No … I care cuz when I’m reading a sentence in my head that someone used the wrong one it sounds funny and it makes me angry.Homophones are the worst. You
What would YOU like to talk about @Bry1313 ?
Perhaps it is the secret envy we harbor over the offender's ability to thrive in society without the effort we were forced to achieve "to be functional in society"Homophones are the worst. You
Which is leaned behavior. If you’d never been taught there was a difference you would never mistake the meaning.
Yeah..take it to a writing site....wait...
Words matter.
Some of us just have fat thumbs and vindictive autocorrects
Okay, everything is learned behavior. But there is a flow to conversation, written or spoken. And when your mind finds a word that it has to stop and recontextualize, it takes you out of the flow.
lol I remember being in HS and going to Best Buy to purchase the Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty. The first track, Super Disco Breakin', has a siren about 40 seconds into it. We popped it in and pulled out of the parking lot, and when that thing went off, we looked all around and took a good 30 seconds to realize it was on the song.
I have my own Beastie Boys fakeout storyI'm 15 minutes late to life in general, so the late dreams are so real!
The worst was in the 2nd semester of 10th grade when my schedule suddenly allowed me to switch from beginning to intermediate dance (the teacher wanted me in advanced, but it also/still conflicted with my schedule) in the middle of rehearsal season for the upcoming dance show. I had to learn the intermediate classes routine in 9 days, set to Girls by The Beastie Boys, along with continued rehearsals for the beginning classes routine and 2 other numbers I was in. I was both physically and mentally exhausted. Once, my pager went off in the middle of the night and it sounded so much like the xylophone intro to The Beastie Boys' song Girls that it incorporated into my dream and I thought I fell asleep backstage and they started the dance number without me!
Saaame, but stuck around for the MMO more than the RPG
Okay, but once they eliminate “they’re,” they still have to contend with “their” vs “there,” and apparently not all brains are equipped to handle that.
I’m a fan of ¡hasta!
Then change the conversation to something brilliant that will cause our discussion of grammar picadillos to melt away.
Especially as someone like me who reads in my head as I read with my eyes
Exactly, on a lot of things like that. Your eyes see it, your brain knows that word doesn't belong there, and your eyes then stumble over it.
But there is a difference… your and you’re are not the same.
You can no longer view the posts of the above member because they are on your fake ignore list
Yep, that should do it.
You're damn right!!!
