I swear to God! If I hear dethaw instead of thaw, old-timer's instead of alzheimer's, or see congratulations spelled with a "d" one more damn time, I am going to kill someone. Or at least kick a puppy. Or not clean out the lint trap in the dryer.

I know Neg's with me on this one.

Congradulations!!

At least you don't have old-timer's disease.

Yeah....sorry...I couldn't help myself...

:dunno:

Other violators:

irregardless
orientated/disorientated (a peculiar Britishism that drives me nuts)
and the champ: it's/its and other abuses of apostrophes.

We had a whole thread devoted to homonyms on the old board. If you haven't read "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" yet I highly recommend it.

Your both right. Its not that hard to use corect spleling and puncuation.

I just think that its just people being two lazy too properlly spell corectlly.

May be i'm wrong about this.

If you want that much spanking, DaForce, you're going to have to pay someone for it.

No, people are really that stupid. I can't count how many restaurants I have been to where the bathroom door read Mens' Room or Mens Room. I also have a hard time reading the local paper. It's full of run-ons, improper use of apostrophes and commas, and extreme repetition. I've taken out a red pen and made corrections simply for my own sake. I have a sickness, I know.

Um...Kah? I believe that's spelled APOSTROPHES.
There's just one 'a' in the word......just thought I'd let you know.
