Oh for crying out loud!!

THEY'RE = THEY ARE
THEIR = POSSESSIVE NOUN
THERE = A PLACE (ie. OVER THERE)

It's not "I hope there not right"
It's "I hope THEY'RE not right."
It's not "Is that there car?"
It's "Is that THEIR car?"


And that was my little internet pet peeve related rant for the day brought on by surfing random communities and forums.

Back to your regularly scheduled friends page.

I'm totally with you on this one, Polly. There are no excuses for their misuse of these words. They're simply showing poor understanding of spelling and usage. ;)

ive been spelling them all wrong.
thank you!

Aww... LOL! I hadn't really directed that little rant to my friends list, you guys are awesome actually. I had just been reading my communities and a couple of forums and... well. ;)

My total pet peeve, in addition to those you've mentioned, is "ALOT". IT'S TWO WORDS, NOT ONE!!!!! GAAAAAAH!!!

[hippie-chick.livejournal.com]

Yep it is, but I'll admit, that one I do sometimes, without thinking.

Ahaha I know, I can't even express to you how annoying that is. Also, I hate it when people are like "I like him more THEN that other guy...". It's THAN. If you want to use THEN, you use it with a time frame!

Holy MOSES!
