A Little Lesson in Spelling

darkie · Dec 30th, 2009, 5:08:59 AM

I think the readers of C&C will find this amusing.

Xia · Dec 30th, 2009, 1:07:41 PM

Haha. The "a lot" description was probably my favorite, though they all are amusingly helpful to new writers. Good find. =P

Fuzznip · Dec 30th, 2009, 1:28:29 PM

I like this.

EspyJoel · Dec 30th, 2009, 1:33:40 PM

This is a good find, love the pictures =)

You can click the image, but the one that comes up isn't as funny.

whistle · Dec 30th, 2009, 8:42:04 PM

Man I must be a super light weight, a bear can drink me under the table any day

DJXO9 · Dec 30th, 2009, 10:59:08 PM

I'm guilty of the weird. Just sent a PM with wierd too lol.

diinbong · Dec 30th, 2009, 11:08:32 PM

Ha nice.

GAK · Dec 31st, 2009, 11:10:09 PM

This is perfect for so many people. Great find Darkie.

The combination of it's and its is probably the most misspelled of that list. I guess now people will stop making it!

I was surprised there was no "whose" vs "who's" though

maybe we can start a collection itt!

Plopper · Jan 25th, 2010, 12:57:31 PM

Hilarious, lol =D

Diesel · Jan 29th, 2010, 9:40:27 PM

I'm glad definitely was on there. On things like Facebook and AIM I would estimate people spell that word correctly about 15% of the time. "Defiantly" is my favorite misspelling of definitely, because you know they think it's right only because there's no red underline.

Fruitsalad · Mar 5th, 2010, 11:46:09 PM

I do the ''loose'' mistake alot. What's funnier is that I actually know it's wrong.

Mountain Dewgong · Mar 7th, 2010, 11:52:51 PM

Oh the irony.

Adeku · Mar 17th, 2010, 2:24:48 AM

''a lot'' a lot of people put alot.

oh and the ''then and than one'' i always mess that one up. i always use ''then'' :D

dr00 · Apr 1st, 2010, 12:03:38 AM

i love the oatmeal.

why you should eat horses instead of ride them and the pony riding techniques are great tools everyone should learn.

and keeping your tyrannosaurus off of crack-cocaine is a serious epidemic that deserves more PSA time.

and this one is relevant to this thread: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe

GeorgeSlayer · Apr 1st, 2010, 2:42:29 AM

dr00 · Apr 1st, 2010, 2:47:36 AM

These spelling mistakes are common to both the native and non-native English speakers.

GeorgeSlayer · Apr 2nd, 2010, 7:45:33 AM

I feel lucky most of these were common questions in my english exams while I was studying english then :P.

AlphaJolt · Apr 4th, 2010, 8:09:09 PM
