lovelaughs_times_three Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 While I'm here, can I complain about PEEK and PEAK? It's not a SNEAK PEAK, people. :rant: Hmmmm...it *could* be! But that would have more to do with tEa, wouldn't it!? (I know, I am a naughty girl! :leaving:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Separate is spelled with two a's and one e, not two e's and one a. "Remember there is A RAT in separate!!"~ My second grade teacher when that word stayed on my spelling list way too long for her liking, lol. Funny, the things we remember...

Funny, the things we remember... I will tell on myself...I learned to spell separate correctly when I did a book report on A Separate Peace my senior year of high school in honors English and spelled it "seperate". The teacher gave feedback that I needed to learn how to spell the title of the book correctly. I haven't mispelled it since.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Unless the fridge was set down on your foot. This post nearly made me choke on my chocolate cake, and my laughter almost woke the newborn in my lap. This whole thread is hilarious! (And for the record, I first thought "carp" was a typo as well, when I saw it on another board.) My personal pet peeve is discreet vs. discrete. Discrete would be for distinct, separate parts. Discreet is what you're being when you nurse without flashing everyone. And my personal errors include a tendency to use the split infinitive a lot, and to use way too many parentheses and dashes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynyel Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It is not a typo, but a switching of letters on purpose so that blocking tools who filter bad language will not kill the post. I agree, I play a game that has a language filter on it and when you type "grape" it looks like "g@#%&e". It treats rape as a bad word. Same if you type crock... without the r.

Carol in Cal. Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Please spell judgment without an "e" between the g and the m. Separate is spelled with two a's and one e, not two e's and one a. Thankyouverymuch. That is all. :D Judgment bugged me for years, because usually I can tell by 'look' whether something is spelled correctly or not, and then I read that judgement is a British spelling, while judgment is an American one, which explains why they both look correct to me.

FO4UR Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 That's me too. But being bad at something has never stopped me from criticizing people with the same fault yet!!! :lol::lol::lol: This is hilarious! I'm going to spout this off the next time anyone gives me any carp....any carp that doesn't have gills, that is. This thread reminds me of the conversation I had with my G-ma from KY long ago...I was making something...and she asked me "How much do you lack?" (meaning - how much do you have left to do) and I said, "I like it all." (:001_huh: wondering why it's important that I like it). She threw up her hands and insisted upon seeing for herself how much I "liiiiaaaaaeeeeeeCKed"....then the lightbulb came on and we had a good laugh. And, the moral of that story is to never judge what a person means by what they actually say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I often think I'm going to lose my mind, I don't think I will ever loose it. Have you seen this? Whenever I see someone say they need to loose some weight, I immediately go to the "unleash" definition in my mind, where we may have a Klump situation upon us. But I dunno, my mind gets a little wobbly at times. It might could be loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
