Most common spelling mistakes?
Sometime seeing spelling mistakes really annoys me. The most annoying one at the moment is "payed" instead of "paid"............
It really annoys me!!!
So what common mistakes p*** you off????

really winds me up when people say "brought" instead of "bought"
for those who dont know
brought is the past tense of bring
eg. I brought my car to the show
bought is the past tense of buy
eg. I bought a strut brace for my car
now get it right

Ha ha @ Phantom. Even I didn't think of that! The reason for that is when I was 16 I couldn't get the correct spelling as my user name on yahoo chat so I changed it. Always spelt it with an F since

Is,nt lose brake there your Porche wood. Usually the person making the common error blames some sort of handy mental disability rather than a wasteful education, or an unwillingness to learn the language properly.

"I took my car to the show" would be when you are refering to the show after it had been, as if the show was the day before
When actually at the show and someone asks how you got there you could say "I brought my car"

I really don't want to come across pedantic, but I personally think people come across with a bit more credibility if they put a little effort into their punctuation, grammar and spelling. It's just good manners.

i just find it a bit silly considering the only way to interact on an internet forum is to type to each other. there are thousand of words written on here everyday and to expect everyone to be perfect is insane! how many other things are humans perfect at lol! im not bothered either way! i cant spell well but i dont moan either!!
im sure their not petty old spice LOL!
