    Yeah, it makes me so angry when people use simple words wrong.
    Most commonly I see these words used the wrong way:
    - "your" and "you're"
    - "their" and "there"
    - "than" and "then"
    - "to" and "too"
    - " -s " and " -'s "

    L 2 ENGLISH!!!

    Sorry, I just needed to say that... I'm going to need a warm hot bath right now

    sorry to say it but your OCD is invalid
    Wrong. It is an English word. It originated elsewhere, but so did every other word in the English language:



    You were close on the origin at least:

    That one is the most annoying. I honestly struggle to see how people get confused between them... I'll probably end up doing it now that I've said that, knowing my luck.

    Thank you Milos for the sig pic!!

    It bugs me that people can't spell a word that is written in front of them. I get it all the time at work in emails; people reply and spell my name wrong despite it being correctly spelt in front of their eyes. Where I work most people are considered intelligent which makes it even worse. At least on an internet forum open to the world, some people have an excuse!

    I totally agree with what your feeling! It bothers me to! Than I thought too myself, its Christmas I should let it go. Their are things we should be grateful for...like being able to boost Elixer for only 1 gem.

    Merry Christmas to you and you're loved ones!

    YES it is the same with defense and offense everyone spells it defence and offence. but what really annoys me is when people pronounce it ELLY-IXER its pronounced E-LIXIR not ELLY-IXER
