I used to teach ESL at a college. I was teaching the months of the year, and it dawned on me that I never could spell February. I thought, oh well, none of these people will know the difference. Just my luck it WAS February and someone did notice on the calendar. So I said, “good for you, I wanted to see if anyone would look at the calendar and notice!”

Kooq.

“What’s his FR screen name?”

LOL! You beat me!

"He walked quite confidently into our office as though he had a mission, and I think that was what alarmed me right off the bat,"

So... confidence is alarming?
Sheee.....

[JRandomFreeper]

I had to.

Every so often, for a special event, usually on a Friday night, my younger daughter will bring me a bottle of Jack. That will be the night I make a mistake.

I wrote tech manuals and edited them for a living for a while. I have the AP style guide (the old one) and Strunk and White. I don't screw up often.

But when I do, they are down like hawks out of a blinding sun.

What a looser.

I cannot sympathize with this guy over that grammatical error.

But I do have a pet peeve against those who mix up your/you’re, their/there, accept/except, and a few others.

[rickmichaels]

Yup. Than/then really irritates me.

I’m a Capitalization Nazi

Not much of a capitalization Nazi if you ax me. Didn't even capitalize your own name, pax_et_bonum.

[MV=PY]

Just having fun. I’m one of them gramma nachos. ;)

[Larry Lucido]

Unfortunately the police department number was misspelled and they called 8-1-1.

[Alex in chains]

Oh, yeah. That one too. Plus its/it’s..... but don’t get me started.

This guy was way too extreme. But I can see that some of these other erros are almost pressure cooker worthy.

I do to.

Call811 is the source for safe digging.

Call before dig!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I refuse to capitalize “nazi” on “principal”.

Yeah, I had one of those too, last two years of high school...

Oh wait....Didn't you mean "principle"?

our/are, its/it's, their/they're/there, plains/planes, two/to/too...
