Alright this should be educational to some...

I keep seeing frequent spelling mistakes on the same words over and over...
let me just correct them here and add on every time i recognize something.
(have to do it... just irritates me...lol )

firstly:
it's lose not loose when you lost something. Loose is like saying loosening the rope... or making something loose (opposite of tight)

secondly:
it's edited not editted

thirdly:
it's truly not truely

In addition: grammar mistakes can also be corrected here.
tbc

lol :p

give advice
Advise is a verb.

well dear u r right but this is screen and people will make mistakes becoz they do it fastly. about me i know when i make mistakes and i know right answer 4 that mistake.every thing is in my mind but some time when i write fastly i will make mistakes.

it's editted not edited


That's a new one to me!! Any references?

secondly:
it's editted not edited


Oh, that I didn't know! :p

yeah the ediTTed one is new? Are you sure about that 3T? if you write ediTTed in word it's considered wrong.. edited on the other hand is right.

3T, there's no such thing as editted. You are now making one of them irritating mistakes. :p
Excellent thread by the way. Keep them coming.

:os... no no:XD:... I meant to write it the other way around :XD..
sorry.
^^ edited...lol

the game: I'm not talking about (u)... or... (this is 4 u)... or (thanx)<< I write that a lot myself.

I'm talking about real words where people always make mistakes and don't know it most of the time.Those who don't intentionally mean it.

:os... no no:XD:... I meant to write it the other way around :XD..
sorry.

:cute: i know dear. i want 2 say we all make mistakes in the screen.:) please don't misunderstand :) :cute: ;)

^^I'll correct the misunderstanding again then :p

I didn't mean small mistakes that happen every now and then.
I meant mistakes that are always repeated.
I keep seeing frequent spelling mistakes on the same words over and over...
people can't always make the same mistakes on the same words unless they didn't know it was a mistake ;)

so this thread's just for the corrections.

thats nice.nice thread and keep it up dear.best of luck.

one more word I figured...

it's bored... not board :p

............................

vari nays threed TT ! :)

^^lol

............................hmm? try voicing it out.

a question to all: (cuz i'm not sure of this)
is it:
Inquiry or Enquiry???
I tried both and neither was wrong.
what's the difference?

Enquiry is British and inquiry is American.
Many people mix between:
- Wonder and wander
- Then and than
- Effect and affect

I've also seen a few using 'could of' instead of could've or could have. :os

^^lol

It's Inquiry which means - Asking about something - or whatever

I don't know if there's a word such as Enquiry

Enquiry is British and inquiry is American.


Ohh then I guess I'm programmed to use the American English :p

Enquiry is British and inquiry is American. I'm glad to finally know that... thank you :)

Many people mix between:
- Wonder and wander
- Then and than
- Effect and affectnow that you mention it... yes... I've seen those mistakes. well observed.
I've also seen a few using 'could of' instead of could've or could have. :osnow that's surely not american style :XD:...
---

in any case... for the corrections:
To wonder is to think about something and try to decide.
To wander is to walk around clueless of where you're going.

Then is like saying: I woke up then I brushed my teeth.
Than is used to say: He is better than you in this.

Effect is a noun while Affect is a verb of the same meaning.
So you say:
This could affect me more.
or
This thing's got a great effect.

hope that helps.

usage:

effect
do not confuse affect and effect. affect is a verb meaning (make a difference 2 ; as in the changes will affect everyone.effect is used both as anoun meaning ' a result (e.g the substance has a pain-killing effect) and as averb meaning bring about (a result); as in she effected a cost-cutting exercise

Warning and not Worning :p

:cute:

I used to get confused when I wanted to write of course. I didn't know if it's written as two words or just one ofcourse.
I know now it's of course.
I think that was only me though and not a common mistake :p

In Love..not Inlove ;)

I recently found out it was Of course not Ofcourse :os

I used to do the same mistakes, typing "Alot" instead of "A Lot" and "Ofcourse" instead of "of course". You gotta love MS Word. ;)

Hmm I guess from the list I'm a mixture of both U.S and UK, but mostly US.

How about to correct the grammar mistakes too??

hehe... I'm glad you did then ... keep them coming. :p

Grammar:
If I had a million rials, I would buy a ferrari
If I have credit, I will call you

"would" always follows "had"
and "will" always follows "have"

you use "had" in such a sentence mostly when you're talking about something that's impossible to happen (million dollars :o ! )

God bless you TTT. Man those spelling mistakes get on my lastest nerve.

lastest !?

^^LOOOOOL...

last... :p...

my pleasure mesmie.

Yeah. It's just an expression "you get on my lastest nerve". You know, exaggerating.

may:

might:

u r 25% sure(i might do it)

Hahahahahahahaha, keep on rocking :D
Excellent mathematician

English was born in England,
got sick in America
and died in India.

A very common saying amongst English language teachers. Unfortunately it also has a huge amount of truth to it.

again:

is it bellow or below?

both seem to be correct.

^ They mean different things Tee
Bellow is um like yell
and below means underneath..

by the lord... you're right!!
I always confused them...
thanks twinkle :cute:

The most common mistake I see all over the sabla:

It's Definitely - NOT definately or defiantly

hmmmm ... seven up or 7 up :bored:

more confusions:

meter or metre??
center or centre??

^^ Both are correct

-re / -er
In British usage, some words of French, Latin, or Greek origin end with a consonant followed by -re, with the -re unstressed and pronounced [ə(ɹ)]. Most of these words have the ending -er in the U.S. This is especially true of endings -bre and -tre: fibre/fiber, sabre/saber, centre/center (though some places in the United States have "Centre" in their names, named both before and after spelling reform, and there are very occasional uses of "Center" in England [4]), spectre/specter (though spectre is acceptable in the U.S.). Although theater is the American spelling, theatre has always been used alongside it, particularly with respect to the names of either cinematic or live-performance venues. [5] There has also been a recent American tendency to revert to British spellings of "theater" and "center."[6] Macabre is an exception, perhaps because in the U.S., the word is regarded as French, and is even pronounced as a French word, if the final syllable is pronounced at all. The ending -cre is retained in the U.S.: acre, massacre, and so on; this prevents the c losing its hard k sound (however it should be noted that acre was spelled æcer in Old English and aker in Middle English, compare Icelandic akr, Gothic Aker(s), Old High German Ackar, German Acker, Latin ager.)

There are not many other -re endings, even in British English: louvre, manoeuvre, meagre, ochre, ogre, sepulchre, and euchre. In the U.S., ogre and euchre are standard, manoeuvre and sepulchre are usually maneuver and sepulcher, and the other -re forms listed are variants of the equivalent -er form.

Of course the above relates to root words; -er rather than -re is universal as a suffix for agentive (reader, winner) and comparative (louder, nicer) forms. One consequence is the British distinction of meter for a measuring instrument from metre for the unit of measurement. However, while poetic metre is often -re, pentameter, hexameter, etc. are always -er.

The e preceding the r is retained in U.S. derived forms of nouns and verbs, for example, fibers, reconnoitered, centering, which are, naturally, fibres, reconnoitred and centring respectively in British usage. It is dropped for other inflections, for example, central, fibrous, spectral. However such dropping cannot be regarded as proof of an -re British spelling: for example, entry derives from enter, which is never spelled entre.

Commonwealth usage[21]. The -re endings are standard throughout the Commonwealth. The -er spellings are recognised, as minor variants, only in Canada.
more info about American and British English spelling differences can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences

^ again its the British and American Spelling

Centre and metre are British and Center and meter are American,

some more mistakes:
it's interesting not intresting
it's habit not habbit
it's prove not proove
it's quiet not quite when you want to describe a low noise

theres a difference between LACK and LAKE ! :p
-Lack:
to fall short in respect of: He lacks three votes to win.

-Lake:
a body of fresh or salt water of considerable size, surrounded by land.

The most common mistake I see all over the sabla:

It's Definitely - NOT definately or defiantly

True! its just the other day that i realized i was making that mistake.I had to recheck the dictionary a 100 times to b sure because ive been making that error for as long as i can remember:rolleyes:

dreamt or dreamed...

and if both are correct.... why is dreamt labeled wrong here?

in front or infront??

I remember when I was little we had a test and I wrote the word Favourite like this: Favorite. I lost a mark for it.

amarant... in front.

umkhalid... they shouldn't have taken a mark of for that :os...argh... hard luck.

I've never won a spelling B ... or is that Be or even Bee? :p

dreamt or dreamed...

and if both are correct.... why is dreamt labeled wrong here?
I don't think there's a difference, just variant ways of spelling.

Kind of like:
learned, learnt
spelled, spelt

I personally prefer the 't' ending.

I hate spelling!! I am just not too bothered enough to think about every word I write in english.

I remmber an incident when I was in grade 4 or 5. I was asked to remmber 100 words for a spelling test, knowing that I will only be tested for 10. I felt it was unfair so I started crying about it. I got a good spank from my father and was asked to go to my room and study :p

The good thing about English…is being a bad speller is not as bad as it would sound in Arabic, even educated people commit spelling mistakes, even authors like the romance novelist Nora Roberts…she admits being a bad speller.

Here is a list of commonly misspelled words in English (http://www.esldesk.com/esl-quizzes/misspelled-words/misspelled-words.htm), some of them are commonly used, yet commonly misspelled.

In Arabic, same spelling has different pronunciations (in absence of vowels (tashkeel)).
English is the opposite; the same sound can be spelled differently. So I notice that Arab mispronounce Arabic words like English natives misspell English words.

I think learning how to pronounce the word correctly helps learning the spelling figures, also by breaking down the word into smaller easily spelled words like con-science for conscience and connect-i-cut for Connecticut.
