I’m really not trying to be a complete dick here, but…
you’re
likelihood
Yes, I realize it doesn’t interfere with comprehension. It just grates.
Thank you, carry on.
Sorry, I blame typing mostly on a phone.
I’ve probably let a lot of “tge”'s slip in place of the too .
Though the hardest to avoid has been “if” in place of “of”
Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’ll eventually get the hang of “og”…
If typos are the complaint, I hope Littleman will offer me a joinder so I can save on attorney’s fees.
I type ‘because’ as ‘becuase’ Every.Single.Time. If you ever see that word written correctly in one of my posts you can be sure I went back and fixed the spelling. I know the correct spelling but my right fingers are faster than my left fingers (unless I’m staring at the keyboard). My ‘the’ also often presents as ‘tge.’
I do know the differences among ‘their’, 'there, ‘they’re’ and even ‘there’re.’ When I type the wrong word it’s due to some old-age aphasia, not illiteracy. (I won spelling bees before most of you were born! 
)
The ultimate put-down for the illiterate teenagers texting on your lawn.
As long as this pit thread exists for such pedantry:
:smack:
It’s to parsley the argument.
My fingers always, always, always, want to type “New Yourk.”
I have trouble with ‘will’
It always comes out ‘wiil’
And for the life of me I cannot spell ‘tomarrow’ right the first time. Ever.
This forum has helped restore some of my vocabulary though.
I spend a lot of time with my small kids, like anyone else my vocabulary has at times been abysmally low because of it.
Just having conversations with intelligent adults does wonders.
What about the part of me born after?
Long as we don’t have to deal with the part born again.
Why can’t spell check figure out restaurant?
Dammit! :smack:
I hope so. Og Smash!
Don’t try that ageist crap on me! I was born before bees even existed, during the early Cretaceous. We did have spelling contests when I was young, but we just called them “spelling crabronidae”.
Living in this complex world of the future must feel like having bees live inside your head.
In that case, it’s “garners attention,” not “garnishes attention.” Unless you mean that you’ve somehow added some decorations to the abstract concept of attention.
Also, because this is the thread to get out inner grammar Nazi, I have one more thing to say: You have a comma splice in your second “paragraph.”
Why in heaven’s name did anybody Pit Littleman for a spelling error? This oaf is a moron, troll, liar and/or hypocrite.
In another thread he asserts that suicides are inversely correlated to gun ownership and posts links that demonstrate the opposite! I call him on that; he revises his claim; and posts another link that, like the earlier links, contradicts his claim.
In the post before the following I excerpted from his cited source to show that the top 15 states for suicides were essentially all redneck gun-loving states and that, the ten states lowest for suicides were all run by Democratic gun-grabber types.
This is all too stupid for Littleman to be just another Trump-licking moron. The guy is obviously some sort of troll playing us for laughs.
Or if some part of your attention has been legally confiscated, like garnishing someone’s wages.
