    Defiantly and weary are the ones that bug me. :mad:

    Have to say this has got me stumped. I've seen the annoying usage of 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely', but can't think of anything for 'weary' ?

    I saw one the other day that made me laugh. Someone was posting about another person who they described as "bone idol" :D

    On Freecycle a few weeks ago... "Wanted, chester draws".

    How about the use of 'been' instead of 'being' as some think it's pronounced 'be-en'.

    'Pacifically', 'somethink' and don't get me started on 'their', 'there' and 'they're'...:rotfl:

    People who complain about speeling mistakes are loosers.

    Why is it lately that people on this site are starting to spell 'lose' with two o's as in 'loose'? petty i know but its doin me ed in.;)

    Rant over.

    That's the one I notice most - doesn't really annoy me though.

    If someone posts that they might "loose" their house I do feel for them because they are in an awful position but I also get a picture in my head of them taking their house and releasing it somewhere in the wild!

    Definitely and wary. Search for them on here, and you'll see that loads of posters use them incorrectly.
