My particular complaint is a single word often spelt wrongly on forums. It is paid not payed. What is wrong with people, its not diffcult.

Up here they just say, "Can I lend?" when they mean, "Can I borrow?" I guess the answer is "Sure, I am willing to accept unlimited amounts of money from you at zero interest!"

An e mail to the whole of our sales force from the head of IT said 'by now you should of received your new laptops'. What I wonder is what do people who put 'of ' instead of 'have' think when they see the correct form written?

The one that really winds me up is when people write ect instead of etc!!! How simple is it to write those 3 little letters in the correct order!!:mad:
