LOL that was me... XD thilia October 4 2011, 13:42:24 UTC
Forgot to log out... XD

LOL! It doesn't bother me that much, don't worry! I still love your posts :3 I wasn't even thinking of you when I wrote this - but when you browse Tumblr, it's awful because every second person doesn't know how to use these words. For people whose first language isn't English, it's perfectly understandable, but if native English speakers don't know it? Yeah, that does bug me a little :D

But hey, my English isn't exactly perfect either, so...

But basically it's:

too = as well (I love that movie too!)
to = everything else (I'd like to go to the cinema.)

off = usually used with a verb (suck off, jerk off, fuck off, get off... why are they all dirty? LOL! XD)
of = everything else (the king of England, I've heard of him, ...)

you're = you are (You're amazing!)
your = possession (Is that your purse?)

there = location (I heard he's spending his vacation there. There's a drumstick in Gustav's hand XD)
their = possession (Their music is amazing!)
they're = they are (They're great musicians!)

*takes off teacher hat* LOL :D

But your English IS really good - and unless you're writing, no one's even gonna notice. But yeah, like I said in the post - when typing something quickly, mistakes like this can happen. I know I've made them too, so it's not like I can complain... >.>

Why, thank you. For telling me these rules. Again. Thing is, they are told to me ALL THE TIME!!! But they just don't stick, for some weird reason. Hell, I have a hard time with grammatical rules in Swedish to. I know how it is supposed to sound like, but then saying WHY? Nope. Can't. In either language. I mean, I can hear how it is supposed to sound when you say it aloud in English, since I love speaking it. But then spelling comes in, and at some things I am just fucked. :-P

Well, yeah. I have a few things like that that I just don't remember and have to look up EVERY time, no matter how much I use them. XD It's especially bad in French. And often, I know the right way to spell something but end up picking the wrong one in the end after all XD

Stupid rules, anyway LOL! XD
