I agree with all of them on that. My main source of problem is mainly that I mis-spell 'me' as 'my' because my fingers don't listen to my brain.
I cannot spell the word 'apparently' no matter how much I try (I just used a spell checker :P).
And frankly I'm still confused between affect/effect.
I have some sort of internal method for telling when to use affect or effect, but I'm not sure how to describe it!
people saying alot instead of a lot does my nut in
i enjoy following people who cant spell on Twitter. always made me laugh. it's ridiculous how they can go on about how intelligent they are and they cant even spell intelligent.
My biggest pet peeve, which makes me strike down people into oblivion, is mixing 'your' and 'you're'... it really gets me.
