Fat fingers on the keyboard always get in my way. I always type out "doe snot" instead of "does not", luckily I catch it most of the time.

And, it's "ask me if I care" not "axe me if I care".

And, it's "I couldn't care less", NOT "I could care less". If you could care less, then go ahead, care less and quit bitching. Not aimed at anyone in particular.

i type "the" like "teh" all the time. In fact I have actually stopped correcting it when I see it sometimes. I have realized lots of people do it and I just don't care anymore.

Sun or Son...............One shines while the other may or may not

Capitol or Capital..........The first one is a building in Washington, The second one is what we send to Washington and see squandered away.

Irregardless is NOT a word...

From Meriam Webster...


irregardless

One entry found.




Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less Pronunciation: \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\ Function: adverb Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless Date: circa 1912 nonstandard : regardless
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

 

[vetteboy]

You can also use irrespective in place of irregardless. But who really cares?:huh:

Irregardless is NOT a word...

Can you misspell a word that does not exist?

...

Yep, how do they drive up and use them. :lol:
Or when it is under signs. How do they know to feel for them???

 

[rondds]

Yeah, and the Professor can build a radio out of a coconut but he can,t fix the hole in the damn boat!

 

[billandamy]

When you speak, nobody knows you cant spell.

Im terrible with apostrophes. As you can see in the above example of "cant". Just seems a waste of time getting that little guy in there :huh:

 

[rondds]

the above example of "cant".

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[Dancin Dave]

You really can't spell, the little guy doesnt go in the cant.

 

[billandamy]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

:huh: I leave the apostrophe out of words all of the time, such as in the word cant. Its supposed to be can't when used as can not. Just like Ive left it off of "it is" in the last sentence or "I have" in this one. Doesnt that clarify it? :smt001
