Bad spellers of the world.. Untie!!
I saw a poster that said this in a Joe's Crab Shack yesterday and it made me laugh out loud. Now it gave me an idea for a new thread.
What are some words that you commonly misspell? other grammatical type errors? Are there errors that particularly annoy you?
And see now I can't think of a word that I have a hard time spelling, but I know there are some.
But it gets on my nerves when people use the wrong there/they're/their... just irks me a lil.
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
I'm the worst speller in the world, but I love Joe's

I'm one of those people who was born just naturally knowing how to spell.
Typos, however....

Two words that I always have trouble spelling are-
misspell
and

Is the title part of the fun?

lol.. it's supposed to be "unite" of course. that's why it made me laugh.

I've seen the sign "dyslexics untie!" before too.

oh yes. The same with it's/its, you're/your, or missing apostrophes in possessive case.
Same here; I know how to spell everything in Russian, but time to time I come across some minor problems with languages using latin letters, because of the differences (like, the verb "to dance" is spelled with an "s" in French - "danser"; there's also some -se/-ce controversy between American and British versions of some words)
Lady Lion, if you want it to be "unite", just say.Is the title part of the fun?

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, I thought as much! that's why I didn't just automatically correct it
by the way, I have for long been toying with a similar idea for a thread... a little different, though; maybe I'll be able to make it a companion thread... later

I am very good at spelling, but I have typos in like every sentance.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
also the use of 'to' and 'too'.... not too many people confuse 'two' with those two, but yeah... and i guess that could just be mostly typo problems

i actually read this and got it

here are two words that almost everybody misspells, to my great surprise:
separate (NOT "seperate". If you speak any French, conjugating it in Le Present might help- je separe, tu separes etc. The "a" will be very conspicuous.)
definite (NOT "definate". Remember "finite", which nobody usually misspells)
there are more, but these two came to mind first
If nobody objects, we could make up a list, and add it to the first post. I believe at least some of "bad spellers" might want to "untie" with the purpose to spell better; while those who take pride in their spelling won't just have to pay attention.

that sounds cool. and separate is definitely a word i have to think about before i try to spell... i'm usually good on the definite ^ tho

I'm a relatively good speller, but I am a horrible typist.

One misspelling that really grates on me is when people spell "congratulations" "congraDultations". Like Hallmark HS graduation greeting cards suddnely take precedence over the accepted English spelling of a word.
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
I'm not the world's best speller either. I have trouble with "hilarious" and "definite" the most often.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
I'm from the UK, so a lot of the US spelling drives me nuts, but not as much as the grammer.
Stephen King's grammer is cringeworthy to me at times.
It seems every time I want to type 'remember', I get out of control and keep going until I end up with 'remememeber'
I swear, it's annoying.
