Cringeworthy Spelling
Normally I turn a blind eye to misspellings I read on the internet (if I didn't, leetspeak, lolspeak and every other backward evolution of written language would drive me slowly mad), but I'll admit seeing "h'orderves" on another board made me die a little inside.
So what's the worst crime against spelling you've seen around TK?

Ouch, yeah, I'm with you on those ones. Every time I see one of those "just got outta skool and i am soooooo board" Facebook posts, I always wish the poster would get their butt back into the classroom and learn how to spell "school" and "bored".

[QUOTE]RIDICULOUS has no E in it and DEFINITELY has no A in it. Most mistakes bother me because I find it shows a lack of attention to these things, as though they don't matter. A typo is fine, but writing YOUR instead of YOU'RE throughout a message is just wrong. k, my rant is done.

YES!!! Where did this come from? All of sudden, no one can spell ridiculous. My head wants to explode.
[QUOTE]I'm probably the only one who is bothered by this, since I see and have to fix it every day in the copy sent to us at work by our stupid sales team, but I hate when people capitalize random words in the middle of a sentence. For example, they'll say something like "I have a big Problem about My Wedding" or "How do I tell a Bridesmaid that she is no longer part of my Wedding Party?" God, that drives me insane.

<div>No no, this bothers me too. At a certain points kids go through this period where they capitalize random things (but not the words they should, like city names or 'I'). It is so odd.</div>

I'll excuse kids for doing that, but not grown women. Randomly capitalized words turns on my bitch switch, but I think just because of work. Our sales team loves to capitalize words that should be left lowercase and it takes forever to fix. I had one this morning that said, "*company name* is a Private law firm that practices Family Law, probate, and real estate Law." Come on, people. Seriously?
