I hereby nominate the words 'just' and 'have' be eliminated

[dolo amber]

from written language. Either that, or I propose that the alternate, but clearly obvious what they should be spellings of jsut and ahve be instituted.

I have literally worn the letters off my backspace key, in large part due to having to retype those 2 words. x(

7. waht;s hte probelm?

I have "hte" set to automatically correct to "the," it's gotten that bad...

[dolo amber]

11. Oh aye

It;s a serious problem, there;s no doubt about that...

:D

[eyesroll]

13. ...'course, I can't set Word to automatically correct

all those misplaced apostrophe's. You know the one's, the ones' that come through in all of the writer's' article's and their accountants invoice's...and these are s'upposed to be professional's...

:grr:

17. That drives me CRAZY

There was a sign up in the town next to us for a while that said "Tony and Traci say's Thank you". I almost stopped and took it down SO many times. And yeah, I got a ton of 'professional' emails with so many grammar and spelling mistakes... Guess I'm a grammar nazi...

Las Vega's Vacation's

[LynzM]

20. Gah!!

And they run businesses like that!!

[Kadie]

9. I just have to have the word just!

Just couldn't live without it. I would just have to stop speaking or typing.

[dolo amber]

18. Oh no...

only from WRITTEN (or typed, I s'pose...) language. Feel free to speak it at any time. :hi:

12. I hereby declare that it's acceptable to capitalize the first TWO letters

of a word, i.e "RObert POllard" or "ITaly" or "STeve GUtenberg."

[eyesroll]

14. I've got Word set to correct that out too...

but then if I'm writing an abbreviation, it gets cut off --

I posted on Du today.

[Richardo]

15. What about 'teh'? Or 'adn'?

Thank Gates for autocorrect (sometimes).

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. I have just been thinking that you just have gone mad.

Have you not? Just a thought.
