Dear people on the internets,

If I see someone type "all the sudden" ONE MORE TIME I am going to go freaking postal.

It's "all of a sudden."

"ALL OF A SUDDEN!"

What frikking country did you all learn English in?!

Heehee, are you pregnant again? ;P j/k

I totally feel you. That, and "supposably," both spoken and written - WTF?! Is everyone illiterate now?

Ha, "supposably" is one that bugs me. I guess it kind of makes sense, at least. :) "Able to be supposed" is about the same meaning as what they're looking for.

Oh! Oh! and don't forget "Could of" - that doesn't even make SENSE!!

Oh GOD, I KNOW!

Hehe, I'm not pregnant. I guess the last straw just hit me yesterday. It's like when people say "pitcher" instead of "picture" or "Febyuary" instead of "FebRUary." I'm not a violent person but every time I hear it, I just want to slap them :D

Better than "defanately" and "probley"
If I see those again, I might hurt someone.

Okay, okay, I can' *almost* forgive misspellings like "defanately," but when people just don't know how to pronounce a word in their OWN LANGUAGE (like "probley") then I just have no time for that person :P

my mother pronounces philadelphia - philadelTHia. every time. drives me nuts. but i'm one of those people who says 'supposably' instead of supposedly. i type it right tho! i always seem to screw up surprise. i want to type it suprise and spellcheck argues with me.
