The Spelling Is "Definitely" not "Definately"

[Stevendsmith]

Just had to get that off my chest. I see it everywhere.

[eyesroll]

1. Ooh! That's another mental block for me

In doloamber's "grammar nazi" thread yesterday, I mentioned "correspondence" vs "correspondance" and how I never get it right. I mess that one up pretty often, too...

[Stevendsmith]

2. Just remember the root of the word is "finite"

[bif]

3. No objections here.

[felonious thunk]

4. There spelling that wrong to??

[Stevendsmith]

7. "too" not "to"

Okay, now I feel like a nazi!

[felonious thunk]

11. I also used "there" instead of "they're"

[Butterflies]

10. They're

[dolo amber]

16. Your kidding!

What a bunch of loosers. :P

Nice speach, however. :D

[Westegg]

5. Yes! And "it's" isn't "its."

[earthman dave]

15. Which is which?

I get confused by that one - does "it is" contract to "its" or "it's" ?

[BiggJawn]

18. it is contracts to "it's". Also shows possession.

"it's it's stuff, leave it or you'll piss It off..."

I know they'll be disagreement, but hey, when I learned the rules, there was NO such word as "insightful", and "animus" was something Jungians studied. adversaries had "animosity" towards each other, not "animus"....
So it's it's shit. leave it.

[Westegg]

19. Wrong. It's exactly what I'm talking about!

"It's" is the contraction of "it is." The possessive of "it" is "its," as in: "Having noticed that winter was coming, the bear retired to its cave."

But you're right about the Jungian stuff. Are you making a funny? If so, it went over my head.

6. THANK YOU

man that is one of my pet peeves too.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

8. Two more

It's "anoint," NOT "annoint." Also, it's "inoculate," NOT "innoculate."

People saying anyways instead of anyway. That is my biggest word-related pet peeve ever.
