Ugh, so I was browsing one of my favorite sites today and I saw some dumb kid leave a comment on a song in which he spelled several words wrong.
First, moar instead of “more.” Retard. I understand that it’s considered “hip” by some to misspell these words, but please know sir, that the rest of the world just thinks you’re stupid. Now, if you’re with a group of friends and that’s one of your dumb “you wouldn’t get it if you wren’t there” inside jokes, fine. That’s just peachy. Keep it on the inside because again, the rest of the world just thinks you’re stupid.
Secondly, and my most favorite, teh instead of “the.” Don’t they have autocorrect for these things? I mean, if a computer thinks you’re wrong, you must be really wrong becase computer’s don’t think.
Lasty, and most forgivably, beguins instead of “begins.” Now, I’m not just trying to rail on some poor kid, this one I think is a legitimate error since the “U” button is located right next to the “I” button and it is completely plausible that the kid just hit the “U” on accident and then hit the “I” and just didn’t check his work. That’s undertandable, everyone makes these mistakes.
That’s why misspelling in itself is not my pet peeve (all the time), usually only deliberate misspellings. Except for definately instead of “definitely.” That one really makes me see red, only because one of my friends always uses that word and always spells it wrong over text, email, or whatever she uses to write.
Here are some fun facts!
Misspell is actually one of the top words that gets misspelled. Piss off your friends! Point out there are in fact two “S’s”!!
Here’s a good way to remember how to spell definitely: Think of the vowels (because that’s where all the trouble lies) as parts of a face centered around the “N,” it’s symmetrical, there is an Ear, an Eye (in this case denoted as a literal “I”), a Nose, another Eye, and the last Ear. There you go! E, I, N, I, E.
