Why do SO many forum posters get it so frequently and consistently wrong?
It really isn't that difficult.
...and boy does it get my goat!
Is it just me perhaps?... |

It's not just you. It annoys a lot of people. It's usually not difficult to understand what people mean and if you were talking you wouldn't know.
However could of, should of, would of does cause me a slight frisson of annoyance  |

LOL. We all have something that annoys us. I have to look away if people talk to me while they have gum on my mouth  |

Yes I try and let most things like that in the forum wash over me. But agree with the "have"s... It isn't should'f, would'f or could'f is it... 
Sometimes you can tell it's a language issue or possibly dyslexia. Other times it's just lack of proof reading.
I lurk more than I post and more recently I've seen posts where I can't make head nor tails of what they're trying to say because of the lack of punctuation/missing words. Anywho...
Oh, and being and seeing not been or seen...
Lol |

I try my very bestest  I only managed a B and a C in English GCSE and it's been a very long time since someone last tested my knowledge. I also have autocorrect which likes to interrupt and edit on the fly. So I am prone to stupid mistakes, quite often.
I do feel your pain though.

Any of those pop up in my inbox? They had best hope the rest of their profile is firing on all cylinders.
However I'm sure my own level or literacy and grammar make the more intelligent amongst you inner-cringe the same way.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear !
Had a quick peep at your profile OP and your status read;
"It's just occurred to me that I agree with much of what Katie Hopkins and Jacob Rees-Mogg say”
Why have you put an apostrophe on it's - that would be 'it is just occurred to me', which is grammatically incorrect !
In those immortal words of William Shakespeare.....thou has fallen over one’s own dick – it really wasn’t difficult, was it?

Remember: When the word is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," the correct choice is it's. Otherwise, the correct choice is its.
My profile is correct |

"Too many similar words in the english language. ... it is confusing for many ... my Polish friend for example ..... he is always asking me which word to use when he is writing .."
But it’s english people getting it wrong.

Most English people descend from immigrants anyway!!
I guess focussing on trying to get it right yourself, is more important on focussing on someone else's efforts? |

Used informally “it’s” can also mean it has, init? |

Count me as one of those who’s education wasn’t managed well enough to overcome my difficult in learning English to the level you did.
So when I hear or read posts at peoples disgust or chuckling how inferior to their intellect I, or others like me are to them. I think...what a proper dick.  |
