Do people seriously confuse the two??

In the context of posting on the forum, which reads like a conversation, it doesn't matter much to me on the issues of proper spelling, grammar or punctuation. These are not formal letters, only quick voicings in order to keep up with the topic. Fragmenting sentences or using run-on sentences or chopped words for the purpose of keeping up with the conversation is a given.
I couldn't stand prattling on by teachers while serving out my sentence in the public school systems and don't care for it here either, iether, neither, niether.
Hey...it's about martini time!!

You could be wrong you could be right. Maybe it's debatable. It's not clear. But, the misuse of these words is quite clear to me. And to anybody who knows better. There's nothing to debate when the wrong word is used. It's just wrong, thats it.

How many times must I emphasize that dropping an apostrophe is a far cry from using a completely wrong word?

As many times as you wish.

Until you drive it into your thick skull that nobody cares about your arrogant opinions.

I don't believe it. I've lived here for about 17-18 years? Ok, seriously here--

I brought some food at the store today...

I bought some beer to the party...

People actually say things like this?

Hey Spicy, why is it that on another thread you spelled fry "frie" twice even? Isn't this wrong? Wouldn't you use frie as in fries or fried?

 

[RoseRed]

Chock it back...

In essence, you are using a wrong word versus two words, eh?:shrug:

Quite honestly I'm not going to try to explain. I know how to spell fry.

In essence, no.

Please explain then.
