Do spelling mistakes annoy you? Why?

Question

justbanANNAz · Accepted Answer

I've realised this is your 3rd question I'm answering in a short space of time. sorry lol.

yes they do, but I'm no nazi. like online with chatting and that i couldn't care about apostrophes and commas etc, or even some spelling mistakes. there r some that r just ridiculous though like "his" instead of "he's" or when people confuse homophones like your and you're, or their, there and they're.

It doesn't really annoy me, no, everyone makes mistakes :) I studied English for about 12 years so it probably should annoy me but there's a lot of different reasons why someone might not be great at spelling or grammar and I guess I think it's pretty inconsiderate to fly off the handle about someone using the wrong their/they're/there :)

Actually most of the times I don't even realize there's a spelling mistake there, when I'm reading my mind usually auto-corrects without me knowing

BCRanger10 · Accepted Answer

Yes. Because I was always a good student when it came to spelling classes.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

Not with difficult words.

The confusion of homophones, however, drive me crazy. I cannot, for the life of me, understand how people cannot understand the differences between to/two/too, your/you're, do/due/dew, their/there/they're and the rest of them.

It drive me batty. I'm fairly certain, if you are a native English speaker, you learned all of this in elementary school.

Nah cause I don't proof read what I write half the time plus I don't use correct punctuation all the time either
Lol but it's funny when they hit the wrong key thats next to the intended one :D like if they tried typing "window" but put"winsow" I'll stop reading for a sec just to look down on my keyboard to see that they missed the d and hit s by accident and just smile

fondue · Answer

It doesn't bother me too much if it only occurs a few times; sometimes I'll be typing and make mistakes but can't be assed to fix them.
If they can't get the your/you're, there/they're/their thing right though... that makes me laugh mostly.
When it's near incomprehensible then I'm just don't bother.

alibaba42 · Answer

because im disappointed that humanity hasn't achieved a level of ability such that we can communicate with each other without mistakes, in the year 2015.

its a shame because people spend around 12 years in education and come out without being able to write properly

its also a mark of poor (self) education and a lack of self discipline. though online its a bit different

Homicidal_Queen · Answer

Yes and because I enjoy writing, I need to make my writing perfect and if someone makes a typo I am itching to fix it or correct their grammar but I don't because I know it is annoying.

Anonymous · Answer

No, it doesn't annoy me. I make mistakes as well... it happens. The only time I got irritated was when I tried explaining someone the differences between "there" and "their", "your" and "you're" and they insisted they were correct.

springocelot · Answer

only in two contexts: 1. if they prevent me from understanding the main point 2. in professional setting

EmpatheticLady · Answer

Yes, when I make them, I get so frustrated with myself. With others, I don't care too much unless it's a consistent thing.

MissNowhere · Answer

When I make them, yes they do annoy me, very much so. I don't know why, maybe cause I'm a perfectionist.

letsfixit · Answer

Not really... sometimes u r thinking so fast, your own fingers can't cope up.. plus it will help other people correct their spellings.. but if it is for work then well its a diff story...

Betwyn · Answer

when it is most words.. yes. When it is so bad, I have no idea what they are saying.. yes.

mistixs · Answer

Yes, especially if it's in a smut that I'm reading. Some spelling/grammar mistakes are fine, but constant mistakes are an immediate turn-off, so it's a waste of potential

SuccessfulOVO · Answer

Spelling and grammar mistakes bother me. I have no clue why.

tara987 · Answer

They do but I am not sure why. I am not the most educated person here by any means so I try hard to compensate for that by being careful as I can with grammar, spelling and vocabulary.

MovingSinGirl · Answer

They annoy me if it makes it confusing and harder to understand

sovetskii13 · Answer

I rarely make spelling mistakes. When others do I don't really get bothered by it but I do try correcting them.

Joshuaaa · Answer

It does annoy me. Unfortunately, with all this tech, texting shorthand and such, people don't seem to care anymore.

DeenaGupro · Answer
