why can't people differentiate between your and you're?

That one slips by me sometimes. Rarely though. It just rolls off the tongue easy. lol

Loose is just inexcusable though. lol

If it's understood what's being communicated, why even give a pretentious shit?

So going forward we are just happy to spell wrong if its understood?

I'm more asking why people think its loose.. not lose

The "your" and "you're" is a big pet peeve of mine. The human race as a whole is getting lazier and lazier.

I stand with the op on this one. People who can't spell are dumb.

I would die a happy man if people would start spelling it like it's pronounced: boogyman, not bogeyman.

It's a comparative adjective, but please define how the laziness is on display in my post?

They should care. Its a habit.

One thing is to not care spelling words on the internet and another in the real world. Often time you will write the same way out here. If anything you should take forums as practice.

Ever since i was a little toe-headed boy...i've pronounced "styrofoam" as "styraphone." I still can't shake it. Luckily it doesn't get referenced too often,actually thats probably why i haven't corrected it.

This is the only one that really bugs me, because it sounds even worse when it's spoken.

You can tell the difference between "should've" and "should of" in spoken language? Fi'nna is the word I find most annoying in spoken language. Is it a contraction of "fixin' a", which also sounds retarded? Even "fixin' to" sounds stupid, but not as bad as "fixin' a" or "fi'nna" tbh.

Well on some people the "of" is pretty distinct, I guess I just jump the gun rolling my eyes and thinking "it's should have you idiot!" no matter which they are actually saying.

But I say "fixing to" all the time :lol

Should of, it's no easier than typing "should've. It's fucking the phonetics up even, because people start to pronounce it like they wrongly type it.

Then there's the ethnically challenged aspect of grammar like "also too" and "he had said" instead of "he said". It's so rampant that even when the word "had" is used properly I cringe, like: "you say you didn't ask, but before you admitted you had asked the question". The overuse of the word "had" is incredible. Even some of the better educated blacks do it.

For written, I see a lot of stuff that's grating a bit. People type "so did you dent your bumber?" and of course the most popular "irregardless".

had ain't being overused everywhere though. like when you say "you better do something" or "better not do something else", you omit the word "had"

:lol Very true! I never understood "bogeyman" It makes me think of Humphrey Bogart.

"Fixin' to" doesn't bother me. It's just slang. I use it. But "loose" for lose just means you're dumb.
