[quote][b]BellzBride (7/7/2008)[/b][hr]I am VERY picky with regards to spelling and grammar. It has always come naturally to me, so when adults make blatant spelling/grammatical errors, I die a little on the inside, hahahah :laugh:.

I don't know why I chose the field of work that I did. I should have become an editor or proofreader instead.

There/ Their/ They're

Where/ Were/ We're

Weather/ Whether

Lose/ Loose

Then/ Than

Aisle/ Isle

They all sound the same (somewhat), but they all mean completely different things. Please learn them before I lose my marbles. Rant over.

I gave my DH a written test before I started dating him. :blush: I kind of already knew he was a keeper though and he thought it was pretty funny. He's stupidly smart, so I was pretty sure he would 'pass'.

It was such a joke that my MOH even worked there/their/they're into her wedding speech.

I'm an editor, I can't help it!

The "...." thing doesn't bother me. I just take it as someone talking slowly when they're telling a story- like a moment of thought.....lol

I guess it could also be someone trailing off. I do that sometimes....

Anyways, enough of my talking. I'm done now. :D

But whatnot is one word... :P

I must admit, the "isle" one was making me antsy every time I saw it... Obviously I don't mind ellipses though... :P

hopeharris — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:07:44 GMT

Grammar Nazis unite! :D

I admit I use "..." pretty liberally. That one doesn't bother me nearly as much as the "you're/your" or "it's/its" "they're/their" interchangeability. It's a small, small thing but man, does it ever bug me.

But I'm sure I commit some pretty major grammar sins, especially once I get rant-y :)

What gets me more are major gramatical errors...I can't listen to someone say "I seen..." and not shudder a little.[/quote]

And what not....three words that should never be put together. EVER!

HAHA! My DH escaped this (he moved to the 'big' city). But all his relatives from small town Ontario (maybe the same area?) say "Yous guys" "How yous doin'?" and "What'll ya have?". Since when is Ontario North Dakota?

*shudder*[/quote]

What part of Ontario is your DH from? Mine is from Honey Harbour (Muskokas). It really gets on my nerves when they says "yous"!!! :D[/quote]

Grey County I think it's called. Near Hanover, Mount Forest, Palmerston. Just south of Georgian Bay area? Thank-God he got out of there early!

Yous. That's not a word![/quote]

I live in Grey County and I speak normal :P. I did live in Palmerston for a few years and it DRIVES ME CRAZY when people refer to it as "Pamerston". **Shudders**

I love the distinction that i have from others. I never realized that people cared about things like that.

and i use this (...) in almost every post and i am sure after most sentences. Sorry to those that it bothers, but like my accent it is probably not going to change. I is what I is, i Guess...lol:D[/quote]

Soooooooooooooo many people have told me that I look like Ricki Lake. I live in Victoria and years ago I was waiting in line (in the rain) to get into a club. This guys walks by and says, "Hey! Your Ricki Lake!!" I said no. He didn't believe me! I had to finally say, "If I was Ricki Lake would I be standing in the rain to get into this club??" He still didn't believe me. :)[/quote]

But I'll be honest that the aisle/isle one irked me too :blush: I know, it shouldn't, it's not a big deal, but it does.[/quote]

she's not talking about ellipses...she's talking about this one poster who puts two periods at the end of every sentence! i forget who it is but it drives me nuts too![/quote]

No, I know. A lot of other people had started talking about them, and then other people said they did it, and then she clarified that she didn't mean those, so I was just adding that I also was okay with those.

Wow, that seems confusing when I type it out. LOL

LOL, do you mean me? I am definitely prone to do the "..." thing. I think its because I type in a very stream-of-conciousness sort of way. I never thought about it bothering someone though, so I'll try to keep it in check a bit more ;)[/quote]

OMG ME TOO! I do this....and this....but I really wanna say....this! I didnt know ppl found it annoying :P[/quote]

I do this too....rarely but I do. I'm talking about the people who do this:

i went to the zoo.. took my daughter.. we saw two bears.. and a monkey.. it was a great day.. i can't wait to go back..

That's what drives me crazy!! I can see using this.....to continue on with some emphasis, I myself am guilty of it. However, to end EACH AND EVERY SENTENCE with two periods drives me batty. Not to mention that some NEVER use a capital letter in their posts. There are two people that do this every time, with the exception of the one person who realizes that only one period is necessary, but, still doesn't ever use capitals.

Yes but the spelling mistakes tend to distract from what's actually being said...it also makes the person posting come across as less intelligent, even though plenty of brilliant people are horrible spellers.

"I seen" is like nails on a chalkboard to me...it brings the validity of what somebody's saying down a few notches because it makes them sound stupid!

I have to agree that the "isle" thing was driving me a little bonkers too, only because I took copy-editing in school and always want to go in and EDIT! I'm totally guilty of the "..." syndrome though... (see there I go) just because it feels more natural that way...

He tends to use ",,," at the end of sentences. Who does that?! It's NEVER right! ROFL He's not as bad as he used to be. I think he's learning ;)

The "isle" thing irks me too. But I'm nit picky that way, and I try not to project it onto other people. I usually only point out spelling mistakes when the typo ends up being funny :laugh:

Although "I seen" drives me crazy too! I never ever noticed anyone saying it before I met my FH, and he says it ALL THE TIME. The worst part is that he swore, for the longest time, that there was nothing wrong with it. I started pointing it out to him, and he's finally (2.5 years later!) getting it right most of the time ;) LOL
