🤬. STOP DOING THIS.

Bahaha Snuffleupagus! Accurate.

You shouldn't skip periods. If you skip too many... BAM! Babies.

Awful.

Good luck. There, their.

Ahh English. I love when my fellow English speakers say they don't understand how others have trouble learning it. Let me show you the book of Homophones.

Learning English as a second language (written) is difficult because of this which is just one of many examples

They're just doing their thing over there.

Teachers don't deduct points for spelling errors anymore. "As long as I know what they are trying to communicate, it's fine."

aha! THAT's why the jumped to changing everything into three letter abbreviation. That their answer to solve spelling mistakes.

Me too, it drives me crazy. I always want to comment with the correct word but know I'd be branded a "Karen".

You're write

I don't see the big deal about mixing up homophones. You know what they meant when you read it. Think about it this way, there are plenty of words with multiple completely different meanings. The word "set" has 430 different definitions. Do you get confused every time you read "set" in a sentence?

But when i was a teenager in the 90's the adults keep saying that our grammar was really bad.

Again, no pride in yourself and your intelligence.

Hanged, hung.

And then and than.

Poster wrote a run-on! 😅

This is another one that spans all ages, just like using 'loose' instead of 'lose'.

OMG this is #1.

It seems to me like the incidence of mixed homonyms has risen steadily over the last few decades. What can be causing this? People know the words, but don't seem to know when to use which. Then there are the ones that are just flat the wrong word. The one I see most often is disinterested vs. uninterested. You can be interested in something concerning which you are disinterested.

Or lie and lay. Come on, there is a difference in meaning.

It seems like people are becoming proud of thier ignorance.

Yet this person missed a semi-colon.

Your, you're, ur.....OY!

Lol I remember dating a "bibliophile" before they'd could make up lies. You're not smart, just a c**t.

or shortening words to the point I have to read a message over and over to figure it out

Eats Shoots and Leaves

Read a fox comment section. Your head will explode. Morbid irony in wishing Jim Crow literacy tests coming back, as it would keep any republican from ever seeing office again. Dumbest frigging base ever assembled.

Saying “I seen something.” No you didn’t! You “saw” something!

Idiot! It's spelled "ur".

Close, closed. Lightning, lightening. Breathe, breath. etc. sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and remember that sometimes people make mistakes

There, their, they’re, nothing to fret about. They’ll learn eventually.

You know you're sh it, then you don't know your sh it

lame… if you understand their point, there is no need to be petty like that. that’s formal education snobbery right there…

Lord God in heaven, this!!!? Yes!!!! Drives me insane. I'm a professor and assign one or two essays usually. This grammatical issue is getting worse. Close on the heels of Your/you're, there/their, etc., is should've/ should of, lose/loose, the Smiths/Smith's. For the love of all that is holy, to lose an object means it is no longer in your possession. You lose when another candidate has more votes than you. To lose a game mean the other team has a higher score. Loose is the opposite of tight. If something is too tight, you loosen it. Use apostrophes for possession or contraction. The ducks belong to Sean. They are Sean's ducks. Sean Bean owns a house. It is Sean Bean's house. His family is known as the Beans. If all of them own the house, it's the Beans' house. It's not hard, I promise!!!

break and brake

I do sim racing in a mostly British league and it's baffling how many people's English is worse than mine. And I'm Dutch...not British.

Mixing up to/too and aww/awe are the ones that peeve me.

I hate anyone who does this. I don't care about your conversation. I don't want to hear it.

That's more of a "the f is wrong with you" smack alongside the head thing.

You're not wrong

What!? This is a thing?!

This makes me so mad

Gen x - AGREE! Why in the world would you purposely bring a child especially multiple children into a world where you know the kids are most likely going to grow up in poverty. 🤦‍♀️
