I need to print this out and share it with a ton of people.

 

[Squirlz]

Thanks for the 'advise'

 

[clovergirl5]

I always remember how to spell definitely by first spelling out definite and adding an ly.

I think I do pretty well with the others. Thanks for sharing that, it was funny!

If people want to misspell there words, its they're write. Alot of times I would rather post fast then spell correctly. It might be wierd, but it doesn't make a difference weather I spell good or knot.

 

[clh2]

That list is REDICULOUS!!!!

Always remember that your school principal is your pal..not a principle

 

[erincon23]

I understand the difference between typing quickly and making typos and actually not spelling correctly... the first I can forgive, the second often makes me cringe. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as signs with misspellings -- I don't like to buy things from a store with an incorrect sign. As a parent and substitute teacher, I often find myself correcting just those things in the attachment!

That was a beautiful explanation of the difference between affect and effect.

 

[Cinderella94]

I am so glad 'definitely' was on there! Makes me cringe every time.

 

[DebbieB]

My favorite pet peeve is on the top - lose vs loose.

 

[erincon23]

Oh -- and it's dining (with one N), not dinning (with two Ns). You may have eaten your dinner, but you dined at supper.

I'm so glad a lot was on there and then vs than.

 

[englishteacha]

Ahhhhhh...I feel better just knowing that site is out there.

 

[daisyduck123]

It's "losing"...not "loosing". I cringe everytime I read it that way here on the DIS.

 

[Luv Bunnies]

Let's not forget "accommodate." I'm tired of seeing it spelled "acomidate."

 

[Silent1CB]

Someone should make a list just of the words that get misspelled on the DIS. Some of the creative spellings around here are simply amazing.

 

[carmiedog]

I need to print that out for my son. THAT's the type of lesson he'd actually pay attention to.

Does the affect/effect test really work? I majored in English and I *still* can't get it figured out. Why have I never heard that explanation before.

(And as a former English major, my online typing/spelling is crappy but I really don't care anymore. )

 

[Debbie7452]

Ha! You think the DIS is bad...have you shopped on Craigslist? I was shopping for a Dining table there for many months. I started to doubt myself that dining REALLY only has one N

And how many chester drawers did I see?? I don't think I saw Armoire spelled right once!
