I'll start, then shall I?
If you are discussing the way a horse is put together, it is CONFORMATION. Not confirmation.

Nothink, Somethink, Anythink.......

No really, they are not ACTUALLY words!

By the way i never checked my spelling so apologise now

Many people I know think that barbed wire is called Baadd wire(think long drawn out bad)!!

Actually Confirmation/ conformation is one of my pet hates too... but I just managed to do it....

I also hate passed when should be past and vice versa

and people saying except when they mean accept

 

[JM07]

i brought a horse...

really dear, where did you bring it from??

 

[Shilasdair]

And it isn't 'I should of groomed my horse' ...it is 'I should have groomed my horse'
Although I don't.
Groom, that is

Summink, Nuffink, and Anyfink!

And it is 'If I were an axe murderer, I'd track down chavs' NOT 'If I was an axe murderer...'

[WelshRareBit]

Would you OF

should be would you have...that gets me every time.

People who use long words and don't know what they mean and don't even bother to google the word to check it's being used in the right context.

Gah, I could go on. People who dont punctuate properly, I do it sometimes and I annoy myself, it's just laziness really..

Edited by me for spellin miztakez N gramma

I am suspicious of you. You appear to be stockpiling question marks....I'll bet you have warehouses full of apostrophes too.
Or should that be apostrophe's ?
