You know that annoying feeling you get when a poorly made gap in a sidewalk makes you trip and stumble? That's what I feel as I'm trying to read anything where words are obviously misused. To versus Too is a common one. Affected versus Effected. But even using "A" when it should be "An" can have the effect.
And of course, "their" versus "there." I don't think badly of the person making the mistake, unless they angrily demand that they are right, or that there's something wrong with people who point out the mistake. But it's that "crack in the sidewalk jarring trip" effect that bugs me. Sometimes the only way I can stand to read the more poorly written posts or articles I see online, is if I first copy past the whole thing into another place, so I can correct the mistakes. I'd bet that I'm not alone in suffering the sidewalk crack effect, and that some people who don't pay attention to such details, aren't getting a fair hearing for their thoughts, simply because few people can stand to read their way through the way they are written. Oh, and there's "where" versus "were," too. "Do" versus "due." ANything where the words rhyme, but mean completely different things. For some reason, I've been seeing more misuse of "loose" when the person meant to say "lose," too. |

And of course, "their" versus "there." Often missed in that is "they're" |

I dislike how the younger guys misuse the word cougar in describing older women. They are ladies not animals.
|

Poetry - how about if I say some of us "older" women can be pretty "catty" does that qualify?
|

|
