I think it was a joke.

Gwahir · May 2005

Also, people commonly use "loose" when they mean "lose"

AlienCow · May 2005

I say misspelt instead of misspelled anyway.

Depot · May 2005

Just borrow Cyndane's Spell-Checker (does not work on proper nouns). <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Liku · May 2005

I haven't seen any of these mispelled.

Depot · May 2005

Any word ending in "ing", getting spelled "ign", e.g. somethign or everythign.

UltimaGecko · May 2005

I accidently type thing instead of think a lot. I'm not quite sure why; they're not even next to eachother.

Which brings me to my contribution:

a lot (not "alot")

they're - they are
their - they own it
there - instead of being here

to - use of an infinitive (We're expected to listen); for all other uses, make sure the other forms of "2" don't apply <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />
too - also; or, exessive amount (That's too much)
two - double of one (There are two of them)
Tew - the last name of someone in my biology class in 8th grade

then - showing a discrepancy in time (He ate breakfast and then went home); or, a synonym for "therefore" or "moreover"
than - showing a discrepancy in value or quality (She farts louder than everyone)

Perhaps those are a bit more grammar-y than spelling-y...

Cyndane · May 2005

I'd also like to point out fre<b>q</b>uently, since the topic poster is quite obviously in need of some serious spelling classes. :-)

You WILL turn to the darkside Jimmeh... you can be the most powerful grammatically correct and spelling user ever! Come with me, and I shall show you the power of the dark side of the force.

*goes with Cydane to learn the dark side of the force*

I obey and hear, oh great master.

Cyndane · May 2005

*kills fatal error for not being able to spell his master's name right*

He was too weak in the use of the force, he was of no use to me.

Jimmeh · May 2005

Cyndane, teach me the ways of the dark side, Master.

Cyndane · May 2005

Ahh, and I shall now have a worthy apprentice.

Kneel before me, and rise a Sith Lord, your new name shall be Darth Grammar.

Don't do it, Cows are far more productive than whatever Jimmeh claims to be, take me!

Ok Captain Grammar, riddle me this:

When do you use <b>E</b>ffected, and when do you use <b>A</b>ffected?
