It's one of those saturday nights that I don't have anything to do. So I thought that I would start one of those "out of the blue" thread. Everytime I type, there are certain words that I just can't remember to spell correctly. So I end up using spell check and sure enough they always pop up in spell check. Which has also let me to wonder why this forum doesn't have a spell check function. So I thought that by starting this thread maybe I can become a better speller by getting familiar with words that are commonly mispelled. Here's a list of a few of those such words: probebly coming specially massage message affect effect unfortunately pretty much anything that ends in -ey or -y when to use double L and double M I will add more as I remember them later on. Please share yours...
A lot of people seem to have a problem with the word "have". I can't remember how many postings I've seen with people writing "should of", "could of", or "would of" instead of "should have / should've", "could have / could've", or "would have / would've". Another common one, is when people write "your" instead of "you are / you're".
Appearences. Ugh... I think I spelled it wrong too. I'm predicting some funny responses in this thread. Others Include -Vassillis Spanoulis -Commercial -Dwyane Wade -Pryuen
WOW! You're absolutely right about "would have" vs. "would of". I've never noticed it before. BTW, is that how you spell absolutely?
Wow... I should of noticed that earlier... Your right. I think the main reason people do it is because the ('ve) in Should've sounds like "of".
that's not really a misspelling, that's just people being tards. a lot of people really think that the word 'of' should be used there, instead of 'have' I pretty much never misspell anything, and I never use spell check even in Word documents or e-mails...for some reason, I've just always been naturally good at spelling since I was young. off the top of my head, two common mistakes that I see a lot online are: definite/definitely separate
How about thought, taught (teach past tense), through, though. Although I spell them correctly everytime, it's still just wierd typing them.
