First of all, excuse my language. But I've been browsing blogs (which I often do, partly in effort to promote my own, and partly because there are some good ones out there). (That is THERE, not THEY'RE or THEIR).
And I've been on Sparkpeople (it's a free diet and weight-loss site...if you go join, credit me, Jennifer8998, I get 10 points)!
Today, here are some examples:
"I want to loose 20 pounds".....I see this all the time! Come on people: you LOSE weight, and then your clothes are LOOSE.
"There was a seen of a cat, then seen of a dog."......Uh, did anyone go to school? There was a SCENE of a cat (or dog). No one has SEEN a person who can spell in at least a week.
"Then I visited this cool sight.".....No, you didn't. You visited a cool SITE. Your eyes gives you the wonderful sense called SIGHT.
Saw this one on a movie warning..."scenes of grizzly content." Yes, I actually saw this. The rating administration apparently doesn't realize that blood and guts are considered "grisly" and that if a GRIZZLY bear attacks you, the SCENE might be GRISLY.
In a SCENE of utter irony, someone wrote that they hated it when they "mispelled" words.....well, you did it again, you MISSPELL words.
I got an e-mail yesterday from the "Microsoft Corporation" that said "Congratulation" in the subject line. Apparently, I won some money. I e-mail them back telling them not to e-mail me again, and that when they were attempting to pretend they were a corporation, the subject should read "Congratulations", with an "s".
Okay, enough examples.
I seriously want to know, though,
Did they stop teaching people how to spell in school? (I mean, I'm 26, and they were still teaching it when I went).
Have all the dictionaries in the world disappeared? (Mine are still on the shelf...all three of them...I can loan one out).
Question of the Day for all of my faithful readers:
What is your internet pet-peeve? (Obviously, mine is when people MISSPELL words).
