Dark Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 You have no idea how much I love you for posting that. Now the next person who says "your stupid" or "you're mom" will be skull-crushed by my hammer. Also' date=' its vs. it's. It's means "it is". [b']It's[/b] quite annoying when people mix up words. Its is the possessive (sorry, but sp?) form of it. For example, the dog was on fire. Its mouth was SO HOT. And if people use (sp?), (word?) or (grm?) indicators, I tend to ignore mistakes because they already stated that they were unsure of something. Respectively, those tags mean: "I'm not entirely sure how this word is spelt.""I'm not entire sure if this is even a word.""I'm not sure if the grammar of the preceding sentence is correct."

GraveHorizon Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I sometimes use "your" instead of "you're", but it only ends up that way when I'm going too fast to correct myself and enter the post without a chance to look it over. But I'll usually catch it afterward and correct it if allowed. People should always try to look over what they type/write before submitting it. That's one of the advantages printed media has over spoken words; you're able to give the impression of knowing what the hell you're saying before anyone else hears it. One thing I'm never sure about is plural possessives. Where does the apostrophe go in which situation? One of life's greatest mysteries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Most people ignore common conventions for time saving purposes, and whether it's foolish or not is a subjective view. I type like that when I actually am pressed for time, which isn't true for a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womi Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I only saw the correct spelling of "definitely" on this forum once, and about 24 other tries all ending like "defenetely", "definetely", "defenitely", "defanitely" or "definetly".
