Spelling errors that drive you nuts!

[cowsgomoo]

millennium or millenium or whatever it is

[Richard Lindsey]

Probably, not prolly.

Voila, not wala, walla, whala, or, god forbid, viola.

Nickel, not nickle.

[Phat Ham]

rediculous. You're not re-diculizing anything.

I'm more annoyed by errors in usage (for example, "your" instead of "you're") than I am misspellings and typos.

I just get annoyed with people that see a need for grammatical perfection on internet forums

[Phalex]

Receive, or is it Recieve?? I never get that one right.

[BaldBass]

I think that it's a small thing to worry about, but that's just me. I'd rather read a post from someone that knows what he's talking about, but makes a few errors, than to read perfect spelling from someone that hasn't a clue about what they are talking about. Also consider that some of the people you are talking about do a pretty good job, considering english is a second language

The unfortunate reality is that those who do not spell correctly or follow grammatical rules reasonably on the forums probably do this in most other written communication as well. (i.e. emails, reports, etc.)

My pet one is "pressurized"

As in: "I felt I was pressurized into doing it"

Surely it's "pressured".

I before E, except after C. Remember that, and you will receive an A.

[Munjibunga]

Orientated.

[Atoz]

"Loose" instead of "lose"

i work at macy's, and by the employee entrance, on the way to the sales floor, on the wall it says..

"have a outstanding day"

[cdef]

For some reason, lots of people write "pickgaurd" instead of "pickguard". Typo, but a surprisingly common one.

[VanillaO]

This one bugs me because the vast majority of my highly intelligent friends do it this way.
