One coffee two sugars. I remember that from a kids' TV show.

Wouldn't it be just as easy to remember the spelling?

But looking through your previous posts, your grammar and lack of punctuation is a disgrace.

Conscience... don't even know if I spelled it right there. I mean like somebody's 'guilty conscience' anyway.

It annoys me when people don't knownthe correct there, their or they're too. And when people do 's instead of ies for example: body's and bodies.

Speaking of other people's misspellings lose/loose drives me nuts. It's one of those things that makes me nearly snap my keyboard in half.

RESTAURANT

Caraville · 26-07-2011 8:41pm

As mentioned already, restaurant.

Also: guarantee (always mix up the a and u)

The standard of spelling nowadays is shockingly bad though- whatever about teenagers, the state of some of the stuff I see written by adults on facebook or in comments on web pages is actually frightening. Fair enough if people have dyslexia or some other learning disability, but most of these people must be just plain thick.

Conscience and conscious are two separate words with different meanings.

Lack of grammar, syntax and punctuation is one thing.

Poor spelling is another.

Shouldn't that read, "But looking through your previous posts, your grammar and lack of punctuation are a disgrace."?

On topic, I don't know how to spell pwned.

and that reminds me, predictive text on the phone spells "colour" as "color", when you try to spell colour, it doesnt recognise the word!

Yankee dictionary setting. Change it to what's probably listed as "UK English"

x_Ellie_x · 26-07-2011 9:48pm

I'm an avid reader and buy a lot of books online, a lot of the books tend to have the American spelling of words. Over the years I gotten so used to it that sometimes I spell things the American way without realising it.

lawra · 26-07-2011 9:54pm

febRuary...

I can never remember if there's meant to be an R, or if I always mistakenly add the R.

It's a shame my birthday is in that month.

"Licence" wrecks my head. :mad:
Usually my attempts are along the lines of liesence, liscense, lisence...
The more you look at it, the less it even looks like a real word.

Stupid F**king word!!!
