Because the intent is not to be believable, it's just to let them know that you think it is something funny. It's really not difficult. |

Not something that really irritates me, but as a non-native speaker I'm always surprised to see how "couldn't care less" and "could care less" are both being used to indicate the same thing... that someone really doesn't care.
To me only the first one feels correct, while the second one would actually indicate that the person saying it at least somewhat cares... Because I've seen it used so often I'm not even sure if the second one is actually wrong, but it does feel wrong to me and would also be wrong in my native language. |
when people say "LOL" out loud. why not just, i don't know, laugh instead?
|
'addicting' and 'addictive'
|
I think it's funny when people say sidetrackeded

Yeah, exactly. Also, when people don't know the difference between "except" and "accept". |
"Couldn't care less" is correct.
The other one is the retarded one. |
alright... well in that case that one really irritates me... because it's even been confusing me about whether it's correct or not.

"Is it on vynil", enough said.

I'm not sure if this is wrong or right, but it is bothersome:
When asking someone if they know where something is, they respond with, "I'll see if I can't find it!". Wait. Aren't you supposed to be looking for it? It sounds as if they're trying to not find whatever it may be. |
Annnnnnnnnnd "effect" and "affect", "principle" and "principal", "than" and "then", "lose" and "loose", "your" and "you're", "weather" and "whether", "break" and "brake", "roll" and "role", "borrow" and "lend", etc.

sorry for my lack of knowledge but what the hell is this?
pwned |
Then/Than
I hate that. "And than I went over there..." "This is better then that..." |

From the time I posted that until now, I have had 3 people try and talk to me, two of them being 15 year olds just saying "WhatS Up?". I generally don't like to engage conversation if it just results in bad grammar and very shallow discussion. Oh, and for word misuse, mine is "anyways". Ever since I found out it's not a word, I've been really irritated by it. moomoo_edit@hotmail.com said: hows the projects commin along? moomoo_edit@hotmail.com says: hello? ... You cannot send a message to moomoo_edit@hotmail.com because he or she is not in your Allow List. |

It was created by gamers when typing quickly. They often ended up saying "pwned" when meaning to say "owned" after killing someone and the word stuck. |
Quote:
Another way of saying "owned", as in "Oooooooh, owned!" |
That is just rather silly.
|
similar to the there/their/they're mix-ups:
where/were/we're who's/whose |

Hahaha, us 15 year olds suck for that/The only kids I commnicate with (my close friends) are all good with spelling/grammar, and the ones that aren't good with it, I always delete, due to their annoying ways. A couple of really annoying ones, I give them a chance, but this one in particular asked me to play "hot or not," So I pulled the old, "Sorry, gotta go," *Block, Delete*. |
