Who carries bears?
Alanis Morissette.
Cross-eyed ones!
So you see it alot, eh?
It’s hard to explain exactly why it’s so frustrating. Something like “you know, I learned this distinction when I was eight and have applied it consistently ever since. Is it really that hard?” and “This is my native language, and I love it. Please show it some respect.” I’m not a prescriptivist except when we’re talking about the formal written standard language. Go ahead and use dialect when you speak, txt 2 ur peepz, whatever. But show us you care when writing to strangers. Also “Why aren’t you trying to be as clear as possible? Why should I bother to read what you write if you can’t be bothered to spell the one-syllable words correctly?”
Wow, thanks, Anaamika. That was cathartic.
I fill your pane.
We still have a lot of fairly prominent and frequent posters on this board who can’t tell the difference between “its” and “it’s.”
I find this inexplicable, even more so than any of the other errors mentioned so far. The apostrophe in “it’s” tells you what it means, for Christ’s sake.
Are you a mother caulker?
"Irregardless" of how you feel, you must admit the OP has a valid point.
I had an ex-girlfriend who used that word at least once a day(!), and it made my skin crawl each and every time! And please, don’t tell me that “irregardless” is in the dictionary. So is “ain’t”, and no one is suggesting we use it formally.
At my workplace there’s a huge metal sign that hangs near the etch tanks which reads:
“Do not add water without supervisors permission”
Surely, you’d think that a company which has made billions in the years I’ve been there could have spent the extra 5-10 cents for the sign company to add an APOSTROPHE!
O ya, eye dew.
Them are the breaks. Sheesh.
Ya rolls ya wheels, ya takes ya chances, right?
Don’t forget your plural’s. For some reason, over the past few year’s they’ve spread all over the tube’s. No, I don’t have a clue how you can make that mistake either.
From her song “You Oughta Know”
And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
That fourth line is often heard as “of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.”
I’m ashamed to say that I was one of those folks. I thought it was an incredibly stupid lyric, throwing in a reference to some sappy romantic gift. Remember? Remember how you gave me that bear, the one we laughed about when we saw it at Walgreens because its eyes were sewn on wrong and it was cross-eyed? REMEMBER? And you told me you loved me? Well, now that bear is sitting on the bed, and one eye is looking at me (one’s looking at the dresser), reminding me that YOU LIED!
Oh, thank god it made sense to other people too. 
Could somebody recommend me a book where I can learn to write good?
Are you inferring you is dum?
I can barrow you one.
Signs rarely have punctuation, since it’s a lot harder to see a comma than a T.
