I'm The Spelling Fairy...

[Damon]

<rant>

There are countless posts where I see people using the word "loose" rather than "lose".

I'll put into context:

"Don't wheelie, or you might loose your licence".

The correct terms should be:

"Don't wheelie, or you might lose your licence".

Or

"Don't wheelie, or your loose front wheel may fall off".

No fear, the Spelling Fairy is here

Incorrect use of break and brought annoy me.

Folks who write like a breathless 8 year old girl telling a story.

No punctuation and over use of the word 'and.'

I always have to think about ei and ie in words, it never looks right to me...

Other than that, I'm purfect.

I came across this a few weeks ago...

It should have of and off included.

Your and you're really annoys me.

I see so many people not get it right and it irritates me so much.

Another annoying misspelling, but unlike the others, where its the wrong word used, i see coming spelt as 'comming' so many times.

Mixing up of brake and break is probably the one that irritates me the most.

Also their/they're/there.

An impromptu survey: do we all watch "Grumpy Old Men" and nod in agreement with what they're saying?

Only thing that annoys me is when people use "brought" as bought, and vice-versa.

Eg; I just brought this bike for £400.

The correct way is; I just bought this bike for £400.

That is all.

I get annoyed with "discreet" and "discrete"

Working girls' websites which say "I offer a discrete service for discerning gentlemen/in my discrete studio flat/in a discrete part of [wherever]" ...

Oh really, luv, and how is your service/flat/part of town distinct from most other working girls, then?
