Common mispronounces/misspellings that drive you up the wall.

[NAD]

Obviously, their/they're/there is a bad one, and very easy to figure out!

It's/its is one I'm sometimes guilty of, when I have my st00pid cap on.

Double negatives. "I didn't do nothing to her." Oh, so you did EVERYTHING to her then, huh?! You dumb twat.

Chimeny, masonary, jewlery, etc. I hear these all the time and it makes me punchy.

Possessive v. plural. Its easy you moron's, figure it out.

'Stupid' "quote" <<things>> --used-- *simply* )for( $emphasis$. Well, I do those too sometimes, but I'm an asshole.

haha, I sound angry. Cool.

I had mispronunciations at first, and then after consulting dictionary.com it told me NOWAY, so I changed it.

I'll have to consult my Oxford now. :Spin:

insure/ensure

I second any of the various butcherings of "definitely." I think one of the admins at Metal-Archives wrote a script for their forums that plugged in two dozen misspellings of that word and changed any of them to "(I am DEFINITELY a faggot.)"

"then" vs. "than"

People, if you wanna compare two things, it's spelt with an "a".
