[grammar]

it's (it is) just a pet peeve of mine.


your = possessive
you're = you are, hence the apostrophe
it's (it is) NEVER u + r = ur.



there = a place
their = possessive
they're = they are
thurr = duh

not definately.
not definatly.
not definantly.
not definetly.
not definently.
not defiantly.
sound it out, or look for the little red dotted line underneath the word when you type, it means it's (it is) misspelled.

if you really do not care about something, then why would you say that you could care less?  you obviously already care the least amount possible, so it is impossible to care any less.  it's (it is) i COULDN'T care less.  cause you really couldn't. just like you couldn't care less about grammar.  but i could care less about grammar. get it?

neither vs neither
it's (it is) knee-thur.
not nye-thur.
i learnt (not learned) it in 11th grade english.

two = 2
to = motion/direction
too = excessive/in addition to

since vs. sense vs. cents vs. scents. they're (they are) all different.

a lot vs. alot (the misspelling of allot)
third grade, come on.


ANYWAYs. it doesn't have an S on the end.  it's (it is) just anyway.  a person who says anyway automatically gets bonus friendship points with me.  it means they're (they are) smart. smrt.

another category of people that automatically get bonus friendship points are those who (whom? what do i know) correct peoples' grammar on facebook (or the sides of buildings). hysterical.



and i know that i should be capitalized and so should the beginning of sentences.  always remember....
