funny thread, the spelling and poor grammar on the Internet, some by very smart people amazes me.

The 'your' vs 'you're' thing is in many cases just laziness and as Colin says it's almost to the point where it's going to be accepted as common usage.

The funniest thing is when somebody flames another person with 'YOUR A FUCKEN LOOSER!'.

At the end of this thread I'll put them together in a list of the most egregious mispellings(sp?) commonly found on the Internet. You guys have already mentioned many of them.

Here are two more that drive me nuts.

INTELLEGENT..................arggggggggggggghhhhhh hhhhhh

this next one is spelled wrong at least 50% of the times I see it on the Net

REDICULOUS!!!

All that said, spelling, like handwriting, isn't a great indicator of somebody's intelligence.

I don't know why some people can't spell, might have something to do with early years at home and school, think it's one of those things if you get off to a bad start it stays with you. I was a reader as a kid, read the newspaper, books, anything, as soon as I learned how to read, spelling just came naturally, the more you see a word in print the more the proper spelling sticks in your head.
