To, two and too
These along with many others drive me insane. It isn't hard to write a halfway proper sentence, no one's expecting you to be perfect, but at the very least try to achieve a writing level higher than a fifth grader.
Add "could of" and "would of" to that list. It baffles me how people think that's the correct spelling for "could've" and "would've". "I could care less" sort of rubs me the wrong way too...
I don't complain about people's grammar, seeing as I make mistakes too, but it tends to be quite hard to read some posts if the grammar and punctuation is poor. |

LOL it is supposed to be "could've" and "would've" "could've" = could have "would've" = would have
LOL ...what?
That's what I said. I asked him to add "could of and would of" to his commonly misspelled words. Not the other way around.

Not following... Sure about what? That you're joking? I'm not, that's why I asked. That the correct spelling of grammar is not grammer? That really should be common knowledge but Wikipedia to the rescue. |
