STFU! no seriously. really? not that I say it that often....nor do I write it that often but still.

Oh dear! Where do we begin with this poster?

STFU! (okay)
No, seriously. (an incomplete sentence; first word not capitalized; no comma after no)
Really? (no capitalization)
Not that I say it that often....(no capitalization; an elipse consists of three periods. it does not appear you were trying to using an elipse and then a period to end the sentence.
Nor do I write it that often, but still. (no capitalization; comma between two separate thoughts)

Hey corrector--"ellipse" has two Ls.

Also, the word is ellipsis.

OP, you are a trooper to endure all of these errors.

In this context, I should write that OP is a trouper unless, of course, OP is a state trooper. Then, OP, a trooper, is a trouper for enduring all of these errors.

[Anonymous]

Thank you for understanding the correct use of "trouper."

Your/you're
Supposably instead of supposedly
Descrive instead of describe
Phased instead of fazed

And because I work for DoD, one that I hear every so often at work that drives me nuts - "weapons cache" (with cache pronounced "kashay" instead of "kash").

I am seeing a ton of this lately:

"must of"
"should of"
"could of"

Aaagggh!

I have a friend who says supposably instead of supposedly

Another one that gets me is when people say racked with guilt instead of wracked with guilt

[Anonymous]

I hate when people say "try and [do something]". You are "trying TO" do something. Using "and" implies that it's separate from the effort of trying.

[Anonymous]

Also it hate it when people use insure instead of ensure.

You mean when people WRITE racked instead of wracked, right? Because it sounds the same when speaking.

I borrowed her $50. She axed me so I borrowed it to her.

"This is a picture of Larla and I"

NO!!!! "This is a picture of Larla and me!"

The funny thing is that the poster always thinks they are being grammatically correct. They think "This is a picture of Larla and me" is wrong. Dumb dumbs.

The others:

"ect. for etc." Are you really that dumb?

People who pronounce INTERnet and INTERnational as INNERnet and INNERnational. Please enunciate your T's.

YOU are back with that Chaucer "AX" business. No one "axes" a question unless they are ignorant.

Go on, I made it it about race. Want to make it NOT about race? Stop baiting and start speaking properly, defending people who use the word "axe" in terms of "ask" and referencing Chaucer.

I read romance books and see this on some posts online as well as in Explicit: it's not 'I like dominate men/Heroes' but DOMINANT. Ugh.

Supposably instead of supposedly

Arrgh, I hate this one. And MIL--otherwise lovely--always says this. God help me, I have managed for five years not to correct her. Here's hoping for another five!
