"Lose" and "loose". I am truly fearful that the word "lose" will soon be all but lost to us. Frankly, I think it's a travesty.
Please note midwinter my dog is also an expert in the use of the apostrophe.

The local territory minister I've been doing battle with for what seems like forever has been known to refer to the opposition as "you guys" at sittings of the Legislative Assembly. It beautifully sums up her intelligence level and really raises the tone of the place.

There's nothing better than the creative use of the apostrophe. Some people just stick 'em in there whenever there's an 's,' just in case. Back home there's a door with a big sign that says "Employee's only."
Here's a good one I saw just today: "Do we really wan't Baucus coming up with a stimulus plan?"
"Wan't."
That's better than any mixed metaphor or Yogi Berra saying that I've ever seen.

Yeah. I've seen that one before. Of course, I also once had a 20 year old college student write "I had runned to the store."
Had. Runned.
But it's OK. She wasn't being paid to write, so it didn't really matter.
WTF is this a 5th grade test? Let me guess you are a teacher?
Again, I think i am doing just fine being a horrible speller.
MISSING A HYPHEN, A COMMA, AND A COLON IN THE FIRST LINE AND THERE'S A CAPITALIZATION ERROR IN THE SECOND LINE.
Additionally, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that if you have such anxieties about your grammatical and spelling deficiencies, you need not express them by being hostile to a thread that makes you uncomfortable. Here. Go look at some LOLcats.

I thought he was just being an intentionally annoying, tongue-in-cheek smart arse but it starting to look like he's serious.
But then Hassan has already told me I am something that comes out the end of a penis so I guess the hate was there already.
