Well well well, look at you thinking you’re better than the rest of us with your fancy correct spelling. The notions!
Can you do one for ‘I could’ve’ and ‘I could of’?
Thar she blows!
Could you be more Pacific?
Your gonna loose you’re mind fretting over stuff like this.
I dunno weather all this is necessary.
But yeah: where, wear and were. It’s, its. You’re, your.
I know we all make the odd typo, especially on phones but some days it would wreck your head trying to read stuff here. Also Americanised spelling (center, color, etc).
Lads
Could we get their bones in the last pic.
I know but can we keep in mind that a lot of people have poor literacy skills or dyslexia. It’s not nice if the grammar police prevent them from contributing to discussions
Stephen fry once basically said who cares about spelling or grammer so long as we understood what the person meant.
Theiy’re all wrong
Ann, Tá siad, a
You’re welcome.
Here is how I remember it.
“They are” is shortened to “they’re” (like “do not” and “don’t”)
“Their” is something I can have so there is a letter “i” in it.
“There” is a place and is spelled similar to other places such as “here” and “where”
Hope that helps someone.
Eye wood knot disagree; your write!
You oughta shtick a class on, its gone to bee packed too captivity.
As a dyspraxic person, I tend to think about grammar more than most people because I had to learn how to make myself aware of mistakes that “normal” people would usually avoid. That said, I understand with phones it’s hard and I don’t mind it usually (unless it’s an email or something maybe). The one that use to drive me up the wall but I’m understand now is rooted in classism is “them” instead of “those”. It stills annoy me but I try and ignore it now.
Unexpectedly morbid ending
Give me a haitch!
Your absolutely right. I admire you’re courage in posting this
Im from Belfast. This will never change. There their there so it is . It’s a thing.
And could we fuckin sort out “lose”/”loose” while we’re at it
We fail English?
That’s unpossible.
I had a boss once, super intelligent guy, so well read. Such a great critical thinker.
All of his awesomeness was entirely undermined when he said pacific instead of specific.
I don’t know if this is as big a thing in other parts of Ireland but it’s always seemed to me that this is a particularly common mistake in Dublin and it *seems* also the rest of the country based on how often you see this in Irish comments sections etc – is there any particular reason this might be? Are things like dyslexia particularly common in Ireland compared with other countries, or could it be something to do with Hiberno-English and its grammatical quirks inherited from Irish?
Ya sure they died and didnt just end up in the hostible?
