does anyone else get a little miffed when they see the wrong use of 'there, their & they're'? Don't wish to sound anal about it, or suggest that I have a degree in the English language (I don't btw)... but I do know the difference between the 3.
Is it really that hard ? |

I notice it, it's my area of expertise kind of, but it doesn't bother me and nor do I blame the writer, they could have a disability (dyslexia, dysgraphia, poor eyesight etc) or just haven't received a good education, or can't type well or the autocorrect on their phone playing silly beggars...
Usually can still understand what they mean. |

no. not at all. there are far more things in the world to get aggy about. & of course I can understand what the writer is saying. I just wondered if it bothered anybody else...... clearly not  |

Yes I’ll admit it does!
But I’ve learned to chill out about it a bit of late (mostly because that kind of thing isn’t SSS’s strongest point!)
Must say though that ‘of’ instead of ‘have’ is my biggest bugbear at the moment, still learning to chill out about that one!

It doesn't bother me. However i dislike the use of & instead of the word 'and'. |
