What are some words you commonly mess up on? --KRISTA--

Okay, so I'm pretty sure many of you know that I'm very critical when it comes to language. I've been looking at a lot of posts and all of their comments and I've noticed that a lot of the words are being misspelled or confused with others. Now, USM, I implore you to respond to this: What are some of the words you're aware you're blundering on?

(I'll call you on it now, USM: your and you're; there, their, and they're. Admit it, you've messed it up at least once.)

'Fess up, USM. What are YOUR biggest problem words?

Personally, every time I try to type "separate" I always seem to end up putting "seperate."

-Krista / AppleSodaGirl

P.S. I know you're out there, Pillsbury. Confess to "aloud" and "allowed." Do it.

Date: 6/3/2010 2:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 23075    and what about the people that do ......... there, their, they're.....  
Date: 6/3/2010 3:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 14314    LOL,I probably misspell lots of words, English is my second language. God Bless  
Date: 6/3/2010 3:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 14464    I seem to misspell definitely (I had to have firefox fix it for me, lol) I always want to spell it definitaly not sure why either. I know I misuse then and than too. I do not think there is anything else. I am like you though I am stickler when it comes to spelling and knowing your words.  
Date: 6/3/2010 3:53:00 PM  ( Admin )   I seem to like to write it sepparate which has to relive itself of one pee.

I also seem to not be able to spell Krista, it comes out KrispyKidder ... :P

-Rad..
Date: 6/3/2010 5:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 16916    I tend to misspell necessary (I think it's spelled right this time!) I am really careful about the there, their and they're thing. Another one that messes me up is effect and affect.  
Date: 6/3/2010 6:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 22852    @}~~ My spelling usually is not so bad, but, when speaking I have noticed that I mix my words or say the wrong words. {comes with age LOL}  
Date: 6/3/2010 6:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 15228    Lots, but Aisle and Isle confuse me. I always forget how to spell aisle and have to look it up. I just looked it up to make this post.  
Date: 6/3/2010 6:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 15228    Then and than are another set that I mix up.  
Date: 6/3/2010 9:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 15394    I don't do it much on USM because I don't type it here.. but on my end of shift note at work, I almost always leave out an "f" in my statement .... blah blah, this shift... I ALWAYS have to go back and make sure the "F" is in the word shift!!!  
Date: 6/3/2010 11:08:00 PM  From Authorid: 49091    definetly, always misspell it...I cant say statistic, I say "n" a lot instead of and when Im typing...and since slag is so "in" now, I almost never use puncuation on "dont" "Im" "says" etc or the use of periods for that matter ahahaha Computer talk has taken over me!  
Date: 6/3/2010 11:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 26303    I'm pretty careful on my spelling, and am a spelling Nazi at times myself. Although, I'm human, and I make mistakes too. LOL
I can't stand it though when people say "Ardamant" instead of "Adamant". Over here, many moons ago, there was a character on TV that used to say "Ardamant", and people have just got it stuck in their heads that that is the way to say it. Grrrrrrrr. LOL
Today a work colleague used the word "abscond" instead of "accountable", not just once, but about three times. It took all that I had in me not to correct him, 'cos he was being very serious at the time.
  
Date: 6/7/2010 8:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 12709    I make a typo here and there, as I am a human being. You will NEVER catch me messing up your/you're, there/their/they're, or anything along those lines, however. I want to punch something whenever I see those confused.  
Date: 6/7/2010 2:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    I make a lot of typos, but I'm usually pretty good with grammar. If I use the wrong form of there, they're or their, it's because my fingers get ahead of my brain or my brain gets ahead of my fingers... or something like that.

There are a few things that bother/confuse me from time to time when I see them... One that I can think of right off the top of my head seems to be a regional thing: "rather" in place of "whether". And it absolutely makes my skin crawl when I see "seen" in place of "saw". *shudder* LOL
