  1. I have to say that horrific abuse of the comma in that earlier post is definitely the worst representation of punctuation I've seen. Don't pretend to understand punctuation and orthography and then butcher it. I'm not going to say anymore though because I think I'm being mean now
     
  2. Considering how long I've been playing this game I should know this, but I don't usually post on the forums, is it against forum rules to post a link to something that has profanity in it? I have some funny links that point out all the commonly messed up homophones and I didn't see any rules addressing links

  5. Brooke, the three words you're talking about are homophones, so it isn't off topic at all... It's actually entirely relevant. A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another but differs in meaning.

    Thanks sparkle, I won't post them then. It's too bad though, they're pretty funny and it's hard for people to forget their homophones after reading them

  7. You forgot these:
    Where and wear
    Whether and weather
    So and sew

    One thing that annoys me is when some people speak, they mix up deaf and death.
     
  8. Some people just can't pronounce th..
     
  9. And some people just don't realise that there's a difference.
