Okay, what are some of the most misused\misspelled words & phrases that you see posted here? If this takes off, I think we may be able to really help some people realize what they are doing wrong. Hell, maybe we can directly or indirectly be responsible for helping someone get a job that they've been after. If nothing else, this should help some of the guys who aren't native english speakers\writers.
I'll start off with the obvious:
There - means "at that place" or "to that place". As in "Over there"
Their - expresses ownership As in "It's their car. It is theirs
because they bought it"
They're - Same as "they are". They're going to do something.
Let's hear some more
(p.s. I know that I'm quite often doing several things at once and not paying attention when I'm typing something up-and it drives me NUTS to see some typo or spelling error that I missed in the first place. I know that I'm sloppy as hell when it comes to "to" vs "too")
