Ready4success 380 Posted September 20, 2012 It's rant about a checker at my grocery store misusing a word!!! What's to "frown on"? I was talking about the comments made about posters here on this site (i.e. loosing vs losing). Lately, one of the administrators has had to re-post the rules about forum use.

Ready4success 380 Posted September 20, 2012 And LOL on the ellipsis comment!! I'mA confessed over ellipsis user... ;D That particular rant was about 2-3 weeks ago. It was pretty funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeauxForIt 659 Posted September 20, 2012 I didn't mean to start anything mean! I hope no one thought so. Just a funny example of one of my pet peeves. That poor girl also told me that she'd, "cut somebody's throat" without her caffeine and cigarettes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enigmachik 403 Posted September 20, 2012 It bugs me when people use irregardless instead of regardless. 2 lizv123 and AmandaRaeLeo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raven21 121 Posted September 20, 2012 I'm sorry to point it out but I sincerely wish people on this site would stop using a script font. Yes, it's very pretty, but almost impossible to read. And I really do want to read what you have to say! Grammar - how about nucular, for nuclear? Even newscasters do it. Makes me crazy. In written form though, we do have to lay some blame on spell check as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted September 20, 2012 Grammar - how about nucular, for nuclear? Even newscasters do it. Makes me crazy. And ex-presidents. 1 Frza reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted September 20, 2012 Well, I can tell you I was mortified when I use the word "BY" instead of "BUY" sometimes I am typing from my blackberry which I hate. When I realize my error, it drives me nuts. If it is a post I can change it, if it is title not so much! 2 Susan 2.0 and Justine13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeauxForIt 659 Posted September 20, 2012 I am more forgiving of spelling errors but it's grammar errors with the spoken word or advertisements that drive me up the wall! Siri sometimes doesn't understand my southern drawl!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LA_dreamer 54 Posted September 21, 2012 Oh goodness my post was deleted! I apologize if anyone found that offensive. Yea i didn't point out anyone and it wasn't directed at anyone or even at this board. This is a very common mistake that i seriously thought people didn't know about. I'm sure the other references can be found on this forum too but apparently as long as it's not a mass mistake it's ok. I've never been a grammar nazi on here but hello that's what this post is... If I offended anyone that was NEVER my intention. I figured they just saw it wrong on here so much they truly didn't know it was wrong. Which is why I would never call someone out in a regular post on grammar. But if this was offensive I feel the whole topic should have been removed because somewhere on here all of these mistakes have been made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
