IRREGARDLESS

You got it!

 

Neil, i think he knows that, he was just pointing it out as a common mistake made here on FerrariChat...

 

We are aware of the proper spelling of each word. There wouldn't be a point to this post, otherwise.

 

"Orientated" is the correct British English (you know, the language as it's meant to be). "Oriented" is the sloppy American contraction.

 

Hey, it's ok... some call them ***s, other light them up. Not your fault - you were born with it.

i keep seeing febuary instead of febRuary.

We're just trying to fix the botch job ya'll did on it since it mutated from its Germanic roots.

 

this is so funny...i just had this conversation w/ a friend the other night. i was out at the bar at oceans the other night and some clown that thought he was a swinging diick use the word...i was laughing my ass off!

good thread darth!!

oh and ...what about...we were just "conversating"

not quite as good as "irreguardless" but still a good one.

 

"Ya'll" ? I guess you meant to say "Y'all" ?

Yet another sloppy American contraction - two words for the price of one, eh ?

 

How about the dumb chef's that can't spell Peaking Duck?

Easy does it now.

 

I met a guy yesterday who works at a wild animal recovery shelter. He was talking about a malnourished tiger that had kittens. They were surprised because she was so skinny from being malnourished that they didn't know she was pregnant. He kept saying how "emancipated" she looked.

 

"She had went to the store."

"Have you ate yet?

 

LOL! The 'emancipated' tiger, under close watch of it's captors...

 

A couple of my gnat bites:
Using "loose" when the poster means "lose".
The correct contraction of "you all" (y'all not ya'll) has already been mentioned.

It's amazing to see some of the recurring simple mistakes made by supposedly college educated people. I wonder if text messaging has something to do with this trait.

 

Well, if it were a 'trait' it would have to be genetic as opposed to condition-based behavior

 

I am so glad this stuff bugs other people too.

Confusing "its" and "it's" drives me mad, along with the whole "there/their/they're" abomination.

And without pointing fingers, pluralising something doesn't require an apostrophe: e.g. if you want to tell "joke's," the joke's on you!

Before you call me on the spelling of "pluralising" note that I am living in a former British colony and have an English wife. I have succumbed to the "s" for "z" transposition, but I refuse to insert an extraneous "u" in such words as humor.

And even though "disorientated" is common British usage I still hate it!

 

hilarious hilarious

Hey Darth, irregardless of what you believe, the word seems to be widely accepted by many. It's too late bro.

 

There are other definitions of 'trait' than the genetic based.

 

One phrase largely sums up why all these errors are common: hooked on phonics works for me!

 

That's crazy talk

 

Functional illiteracy has been around long before text messaging - though this new abbreviated form of communication certainly isn't help matters...
