There is a difference between THERE, THEIR, and THEY'RE.

BUY or BY.

TWO, TOO, or TO.

DYED or DIED.

SINCE, not SINS.

There are a few others, these are probably the most common.
SORRY, I had to get this off my chest.

It is ridiculous not rediculous

Irregardless makes my hair stand on end

Prolly...really? How lazy have we become?

Texting type words are for cell phone use for simplicity, not for posting on forums...imo :)

There are many people here that english is a second language, so don't expect to see any change anytime soon...

It's not only spelling its also the lack of proper use of punctuation to signify the end of one sentence and the beginning of another one certain people dont care enough to proofread what they write before posting it and will say 15 statements without a single period or additional paragraph nor do they care enough to go back and fix it or do they just not know what the heck they type looks like and how annoying it is to read especially when they try to be the one that gives reefing advice yet they cant type at anything higher than a 3rd grade level but are expecting people to take what they say serious and to comprehend the jibbrish that they believe is proper english and will argue when you point out they look like a moron how they post

....,?!..''''..........""...<---All of the punctuation I left out. It hurt to type that without them.

I wasn't directing this at people who are "learning" English. That's understandable. I also understand that predictive text confuses things sometimes. Its the illiteracy and laziness that bothers me. Its seems to be contagious.
How do you make a distinction?
