Common English Spelling Errors
A friend of mine just posted this on her Facebook profile. It's good, so I thought I'd share it with you folks here. It's a bit crude at times, but not completely offensive. Enjoy!

Ha! I like that. I'm a terrible speller. Funnily enough, most of those are things I spell correctly. I do always misspell 'definitely' (I'm guilty of wanting to use an 'a'), and I do say 'alot', but I do know that is wrong. I don't care, because to me it's more visually pleasing than 'a lot'. And what *I* think is way more important than what the rest of the English-speaking world thinks.

I'll admit I make mistakes with apostrophes, like "it's" versus "its", but I do know those rules. My mistakes there come from typing too fast and not proofreading.

Thank you very much with your contribution.

Really and really you should to believe me, I liked me it bunch off, sometimes we the Spanish speakers writing bad the words, I did it.

I knew about the alot is bad wrote, really it should be a lot, and well the word it's (it's ok).


Please you leave me to keep the website in my mind.

Nothing to do with intelligence. Think about it.

It has if there is any correlation between intelligence and awareness of language - you need to be aware of possessive adjectives and their use (and no, you don't need to know what they are called ).

But dyslexics tend to be intelligent.
