My opinion is that if you are an adult and don't know when or how to use the two, you have issues... I think I was taught this in 3rd grade... :shrug:
Another common word used wrong on here is "lose" and "loose"...
And I hate when people say "I seen" instead of "I saw"....
Ok, I'm done...

Did anybody see the guy's D.C. licence plate/tag "NOTAGS"?
yahoo.com:
"D.C. man's vanity plate earns him $20,000 in tickets."
DC man
It's spelled correctly though.

let us not forget the improper use of the ellipsis.
(I improperly use it also but I dont care)
used properly it is to replace excluded text.
If the excluded text is at the end of the sentence then there should be four periods, like this. ...
If the text is excluded in the middle of the sentence, then it is the three.
Using three at the end is not proper, although most use it that way too.

That is the one thing that makes me want to punch someone in the face, when they use that phrase.
Are you my soul mate?

Another one that gets me is "suppose-ably" instead of "supposedly".
That's when I look at him/her and say "Whuuut?"

and some words are easier to pronounce than others when you have a mouthful of pickled pork rinds.

Yeah, well, it's said you can't make fun of rednecks unless you are one; and I are one. I have one Nephew who is 1/2 redneck and 1/2 hillbilly; but he's smart as a whip, so there is some contradiction goin' on.

I bowl overhand
I use them as pausalizations....
Like, stop here "..." and think for a second about what you just read.
It's almost musical annotations...
Like a comma is a short pause, say an eighth note, but '.' is more like a quarter or half note, so if I string some periods together it's telling the reader to stop for a full measure, or to the count of three or four, before continuing.
I read it like that, but I have to wonder... how many others read it that way too?
