    Yes, THEIR answers do sometimes annoy me, especially when THEY'RE wrong in the way they use words. There! I've had my say.

    It doesn't bother but I assume they were either careless when they wrote it, didn't do well in English, or fall a bit on the intelligence scale...in that order.

    There you go. ;)

    Yes. What ever happend to proof reading? I mean I know I've probably made some typos when I'm really tired, but that's too much.

    Not so much "bother" me but just annoys me. In high school we pretty much got it drilled in to us so I feel like I have to use the correct term! And I don't get why other people cant do the same!

    Not really.

    As long as I understand what THEY'RE trying to say. I don't really dwell on THEIR mistakes.

    I hope I was right THERE.

    If they've Graduated high school, hell yes it does.
    actually i think we learn that in elementary dont we?
    so if someone's graduated from elementary and doesn't know the difference maybe you should go back and do some refresher courses. it also bothers me when people put the apostrophe in the wrong place.

    Yes, a little.
    I think it is not that hard to learn the rules. Even though English is my second language and we don't speak English at home, I try to use the correct grammar etc.

    Of course, everyone makes mistakes sometimes especially when we are in a hurry.
    As long as we understand the right way of using these words and try, errors are forgivable :)
