A Little Lesson in Spelling

[darkie]

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

 

[Xia]

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

 

[Fuzznip]

I like this.

 

[EspyJoel]

This is a good find, love the pictures =)

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

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

 

[DJXO9]

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

 

[diinbong]

Ha nice.

 

[GAK]

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

 

[Malfunction]

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

 

[Umbreon Dan]

amusingly helpful to new writers. Good find. =P

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

maybe we can start a collection itt!

 

[gvmgvm40]

Hilarious, lol =D

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]

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

 

[Mountain Dewgong]

Oh the irony.

 

[Adeku]

''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

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.

...are these mistakes common for American people?Or are these links mostly for non-native english speakers?

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

 

[GeorgeSlayer]

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