Commonly misspelled words in profiles
| Tue, 04-12-2005 - 3:58pm |
There are some commonly used words in profiles that are almost always misspelled.
Off the top of my head, I'd say the ones I see most often are....
I'm looking for someone who compliments me.
If my profile peaks your interest...
Not a dealbreaker - but one of those pet peeves that drives me nuts.

My biggest pet peeve is with "your" and "you're". Ugh!!

"I'm looking for someone who compliments me."
Actually,
complements:
Definately - the word is DEFINITELY, folks! I see that one ALL the time.
And not only your and you're but their, they're and there. BIG pet peeve of mine! :-)
Ugh, I've seen "definately" a lot, too - not just in online profiles; in general.
"I'm looking for someone that..."
jh, is there an exception to the *who* rule?
Edited to add: oops, that's grammar not spelling mistakes! Sorry.

The one I absolutely HATE lately seeing used in chats is:
"prolly"
COME ON PEOPLE... spell it out??? Jeez... can it be that hard to do, really?? :)

Holly...
Pianoguy pleads guilty to the mix-up of YOUR and YOU'RE.
"Prolly" makes me really cranky, too.
Not common, but I once got "spontinuity".
And if you write "u r 2 kewt" it's immediate blockage.
