e.g. i was eaten by a camel -> i was affected by a camel

or people who write 'was' instead of 'were'
(GRAHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

ha thats good actually

i always put 'alot' and i really cant do effect and affect!!

i hate 'neseccary' aswell i probably spelt it wrong even there who knows
i used to always spell business wrong but last year i finally learnt it

Haha this is great. My English teacher used to always go on about the misuse of apostrophes. It only really annoys me when companies do it though, for example in Asda you might see a sign that says CD's but when a person does it online I just laugh at them really.

You're and your.
Their, there and they're
Affect and effect.
There's more but I can't be bothered to think atm, I hate it when people get it wrong though.

The only word I ALWAYS misspell is..

I get confused with its and it's :( And apparently.

It also annoys me when people talk about the Union Jack: It's called the Union Flag unless it's on a boat in which case you can call it the Union Jack all you want. Even the BBC do this :(

it makes me awkward when people misspell awkward
