Getting the words mixed up

[GOM]

There seems to be confusion, or lack of knowledge, of some words and witch/which is correct.

There/their/they're are of course the common examples, but recently I have noticed people using mute instead of moot quite a lot.

I'm sure there are many other examples.

 

[McTavish]

definitely/defiantly - not sure if this is a predictive text thing but it is increasingly common.

Its something those grammer police are going to love is'nt it. There be all over this won.

This was a big problem in the days of King ****, the Danish king who famously tried to turn back the waves. Even though his name was spelt **** one thousand years later we're still forced to used the incorrect, Anglicised version Canute.

Still, it's a useful way of identifying 'Leave' voters.

Than and then I see a lot. Makes some sentences very funny, some poster on here put 'I'd rather be pissed on then watch Palace play'. Urinated on followed by a Palace match, tough day!

I imagine that's mostly a case of 'the computer says...'! But not sure it matters, does it? Unless peeps can't work it out for themselves.
I rather hoped the Grammer Police had been disbanded, bearing in mind that predictive text is overseeing us.

Far too many people use women when they mean an individual woman.

Theirs far to many too tell.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I should of known this would happen.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Towing the line instead of the correct toeing the line.
Loose a game, rather than lose a game.
Discusting instead of disgusting.
There and their seem to be interchangeable, and in the wrong context.

 

[RandyWanger]

Some people get "Stand or fall" wrong and mix it up with "going up to win the cup"

 

[AmexRuislip]

Whether the weather is going to be fine.

 

[Biscuit]

Discusting instead of disgusting.

This gets me the most..
