| A light-hearted thread about misspelling pet peeves (add yours if you wish) |
|
I have two major pet peeves that set me off:
"Loose" instead of "lose": As in "I am afraid Obama will loose in 2012."
"Lightening" instead of "lightning": As in "The sky was filled with lightening."
What bothers me the most is that I have seen a steady increase in these 2 errors and am afraid that someday no one will even be able to spell it correctly.
Not that its the end of the world, but it bugs me.
Anyone else with others?
