I've said it before and I think it's appropriate to say it again in this thread:

[QUOTE=HTWLSS;502879]Here's a couple:

1. The word is probably. Not, prolly.

Thank you for this thread. I hate seeing that kind of awful grammar. Here's another one:
Incorrect: "Go to the job sight. The photo is a nice site."
Site is a place. Sight is vision.
Web site, not web sight.
Sight for sore eyes, not site for sore eyes.

I think the absolute most annoying one must be "sale" though. I hate that one the most out of all of them.

That is because the language is not consistent. The apostrophe is used to make a proper noun posessive, but not a pronoun.

All correct:
The Camaro's wheels are shiny.
Its wheels are shiny.
Stephanie's car has shiny wheels.
Hers has shiny wheels.

I would hate to see what that shell of a car looks like once everything is taken off of it.

SoFlaZ · 05-20-2009, 03:43 PM

Definitely, NOT Definately. I made this mistake a lot.

a lot, NOT ALOT

yep.

a lot - multiple items; usually meaning a large number
"There sure are a lot of Camaros sitting in Oshawa."
allot - to distribute or assign a portion of something
"I will allot each person 10 minutes per speech."
