    I’m sure many have received the advice: “i before e, except after c.” I find this insufficient as a rule of thumb. Isn’t that weird?

    Are you taking your blessed education for “granite?” (should be “granted”)
    It “effects” (affects) the way the message comes across and will “loose” (lose) the “affect” (effect) of the communication.
    “Me and you” (You and I) should “definately” (definitely) have time with an editor in our “calender,” (calendar), because we may have learned it all in “kindergarden” (kindergarten), but when we were 5, we “was” (were) smarter “then” (than) we are now.
    Lol!

    Two funny!
    I minored in literature, and the spelling/grammar mistakes I see daily from coworkers and clients (medical offices, no less!) are enough to make me nuts. Even my boss is equally guilty.
    Your article reminded me of a classic poem I read years ago in Reader’s Digest. It’s incredibly witty author is, unfortunately, unknown.

    Eye halve a spelling chequer
    It came with my pea sea
    It plainly marques four my revue
    Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
    Eye strike a key and type a word
    And weight four it two say
    Weather eye am wrong oar write
    It shows me strait a weigh.
    As soon as a mist ache is maid
    It nose bee fore two long
    And eye can put the error rite
    Its rare lea ever wrong.
    Eye have run this poem threw it
    I am shore your pleased two no
    Its letter perfect awl the weigh
    My chequer tolled me sew.

    I love going to Youtube and looking at the comments. Every once and awhile (once in a while) someone will post a comment that has such bad grammar and punctuation that I literally cannot understand a word they said; honestly, it’s harder than Shakespeare, Keynes, Mises etc. Anyway, sometimes you see cuz instead of because, plz instead of please, that and which get confused, sooooo instead of so, congratz instead of Congratulations etc. Two of my favorites are ALL CAPS, WHY? I DON’T KNOW! and multiple exclamation point(s)!!!

    At work I recently realized how often lay and lie are interchanged. One lays a book on a desk and a dog lies down on a carpet. The book is now lying on the desk and the dog is lying on the carpet rather than laying.

    The word regardless means without regard. When people say irregardless it ends up being a double negative.

    A pet peeve is the use of an apostrophe to denote plurals and the utter carelessness in forming possessives: “He and I’s friend’s” instead of “His and my friends”—what’s with thinking that the nominative case is always correct?!
    But, then, you have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, you fill in a form by filling it out, and an alarm goes off by going on.
    English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race which, of course, is not a race at all. 🙂

    Never use a preposition to end a sentence with. (Unless you have to.)
    They say Shakespear’s working vocabulary was about 30,000 words, while the average American today uses just 3000 (with “like” being repeated enough to fill in the other 27,000 spaces!) For a demonstration of the difference, please see John Branyan’s version of The Three Little Pigs on Youtube.

    I found a great video that illustrates the heavy reliance on spelling correction software, and the dangers that presents. Feel free to view and enjoy the reading from a poet I found just a couple weeks ago, Taylor Mali. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OonDPGwAyfQ&feature=related

    I am from Texas. I was born here, raised here and still live here. One of my biggest ‘cringe’ moments happens when I hear my fellow Texans say: WARSHER or WARSHING machine instead of WASHER or WASHING machine!
    I am equally appalled at hearing about reality shows that portray us all as hicks with a hick drawl! Also, it never fails when someone does something they shouldn’t, that the news crew will find the one person half naked in coveralls and boots, carrying a six-pack in one hand, to interview as a reliable eye-witness! Does this happen in Michigan too?

    Beside instead of aside. Beside denotes being along side or next to something, whereas aside demonstrates the disassociated nature of the object. “That is aside the point” vs “That is beside the point”.

    Awesome post Chris! One could connect song lyrics to the use of words.
    For years I thought the country song by Garth Brooks was “I’m shavin” instead of “I’m shameless.”
