There are just some words you can't teach people to spell. I've noticed a couple on NG that I see spelled incorrectly more often than not. Which words do you see misspelled far too often?
List:
Sequel - sequal, sequell, sekuel
Grammar - grammer
Retarded - retarted
Blammed - blamed
A Lot - alot, allot
Weird - wierd
Ridiculous - rediculous
Definite - defenite
Psycho - phsyco, physco
Hurt - hert
Some homophones excluded due to enormous number of possible mistakes.
yeah. I think ive messed up on both of those, and alot more.
One thing that annoys me is when people say, for example:
"Your stupid."
It's "YOU'RE STUPID."
Golly.
Yes, the homophones can be quite annoying. Too many to list though.
OH and my favorite.
"I hated this movie I blamed it!"
NO! Bad! You spelt the wrong word trying to spell a fake one! :'(
Try blam or blammed to avoid confusion.
Fuck! That one really pisses me off. If it's monosyllabic you double the last consonant, especially when it looks like another word.
I can sure go for a retart about now.
"Spelt."
How ironic... It's not in my dictionary.
"A lot" is two words. Lots of people write "alot." Sometimes they write "allot."
Now we all have to be extra careful with our own writing, because we've just revealed to everyone that we're grammar snobs.
Our society is secret no more!
Ironically, spelt and allot are both words. They just mean something completely different than the way most people use them.
could be worse, they could be using leet speak. I remember one guy was so bad at spelling everyone made fun of him to the point where he issued a mass death threat and left. And I still have no idea of what he was saying
how about spelling Krinkels "krinkles"? that one happens often and kind of bothers me.
your so lajdswh

It is interchangeable with spelled and a word for wheat AND it doesn't show up on my spell checker and -
O no I've gone cross eyed! -Austin Powers
Okay, spelt is out.
I'm as surprised as you. I figured it was one of those errors that comes from pronunciation. I'm a terrible speller.
you're and your get confused a lot. one is showing possession and another is a merger of you and are.
I get spam that is so lacking in grammar and punctuation that it makes me want to bludgeon someones head against the wall, it's a real pain in the arse but it seems Newgrounds is the centre for pathetic little 13 year olds that love nothing more but to type "your gay so i blameded y00 " in all capitals, to be quite frank I've typed more legible comments with my penis.
Weird, not wierd.
Nice list :P
I'll add it to the list.
I think it's absolutely hilarious when people misspell their own usernames in a review.
I've never seen that but it does sound hilarious.
How about
The - teh
I know users kinda do this as a joke thing, but most users don't use it properly and it makes them look like a jackass
You have a point, but these people know how to spell the, they just choose to spell it incorrectly.
Shouldn't you worry about something more important?
Never!
i dont think "blamed" is that bad wooo 1 m missing *GRAMMAR POLICE*
It's annoying. "I blamed this flash!" Blamed it for what? The Holocaust? The decline in the African Elephant population? Making baby Jesus cry?
"rediculous".
Ugh.
Ooh, does that one ever piss me off. Reminds me of defenite. >:(
my native language isn't even english, but even I make less mistakes!
gets my blood boiling it does
how about something like G-Bot (Grammar-Bot), who checks spelling in the comments? :)
blamed dem reveiws, we hated dem allot for being wierd and rediculous! dem retarts... heh

Yeah, but at least you can laugh imagining them pronouncing it that way.
