Common Grammatical Errors on the Internet

it's and its

 

Not only on the internet, but pretty much everywhere and in real life conversations I have as well.
"An" and "a"...
Wrong: "He gave her a apple"
Right: "He gave her an apple"

If the next word starts with a vowel, you use "an".
If it's not a vowel, use "a".

Why do people not understand this.. it's simple.. I don't get it..

 

The thing I saw was when people say Colonge as in what Men use, its like thing used for hair I think, but many people missthink about the spelling
and say colon, which is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates, which is a bad spelling error xD kinda gross when they do that error haha

 

The three There's.
Their, They're and There. Always mixed up, and forever will be.

 

"should of" (and not 'should have')
"it's" (and not 'its')
"were" (and not 'where')
"mispell"
"gramatical"
"grammer"
"your" (and not 'you're')
"literally" (and not 'figuratively')

...and countless others.
I really hate those people. In my experience, they truly don't care. Confronting them does nothing as they are set in their ways.
There's also "form" (instead of 'from'), which I am prone to, though in that case, it is an honest mistake that spell- and grammar-checks do not notice.

 

English is such a weird language, man. It's understandable that there are tons of common grammar errors on the internet, I don't even understand the language half the time- and it's my only language, haha.

The most common ones I see are "its" and "it's" getting mixed up, people using the wrong version of "there/their/they're", and mixing up "a" and "an". There's also a ton of spelling errors that I notice, mostly with mixing up vowels and whatnot.

 

It's/its (biggest one by far, in terms of how simple the differences are)
"could of, would of, should of"
You're/your
Then/than
The capitalization of seasons (fall, winter, spring, summer etc.)
Failure to capitalize all letters of an abbreviation(s), proper or improper

 

Reminder that not everyone has English as a first language, so it's kind of rude to get angry or rude at people who don't have perfect grammar.
I make tons of errors myself, especially comma splices. I usually stick too many in a sentence and it's a mess but I'm just like "meh".

And evil words like "they're" "Their" "There", gosh I hate this language.

 

The ones that irk me the most are your/you're and its/it's. They always make me go "ugh" when I see them.

 

The common ones I see are they're/their/there, its/it's, abit/alot, your/you're, and so on. I am very aware that the English language is one of the weirdest and most difficult languages to learn if one is not a native speaker, so I try to be more understanding and tolerable of people who misuse certain similar-sounding words. That doesn't stop my natural reflexes of cringing a little whenever I see improper spelling/grammar though.

 

There, Their, and They're.

I don't know why but it always annoys me when someone does something like this. Not ever with other words, just these ones in particular.

"They're on their bikes over there", not "There on they're bikes over their". (I'm sorry but that sentence HURTS)

 

"their" "there" and "they're", "than" and "then", "it's" and "its". I can't stand it when people misuse/misspell those words.

 

English is a pretty strange language.
I always get its and it's wrong. All right as alright. There's so much slang on the internet nowadays that grammatical errors turn into slang used every day such as "fleek." It's pretty weird. Curse you grammar!

 

"I have 3 apple's"
"im"
"i don't no"
"i'd actually wouldn't"
A big one that annoys me is a lack of commas where needed, or putting a comma where there should be a new sentence in the first place!

 

"I have 3 apple's"
"I hope your ready"
"Its a sucky Pokémon"
"I don't like it's speed stat"
"There/Their going for it!"
No/Know
An/And
Those are the ones that really make me cringe

 

My biggest peeve is definitely getting 'a' and 'an' mixed up, but generally I find myself picking out mistakes in a lot of comments, my own included;; I don't generally point it out unless idk, they've asked me to beta read something and that's the point haha
If it's happening over and over and over again in a conversation I'll usually have to point it out though;;

 

I see your and you're mixed up a lot. Especially when commenters try to insult someone else.

The improper use of ''s' is another one I see around. Though I still get confused myself when words end in s, such as Reckless and whether it should be Reckless' or Reckless's to show possession.

 

Idioms are hard because they dont have a well constructed rule to them.

Ex. I could care less about a carrot.

Change could to couldnt. So confused :S
