Alsmost the same as ( of course and ofcourse) Cheesy

my grammar is broken.

I don't see any similarity???

(of course spelled ofcourse) is making a compound word out of two words in a way which is not done in English (at least, I can't think of any words where of is used as a prefix), and the resulting word is not a valid English word and so this mistake will be caught by any spellcheck.

Often?

Though it is not a compound word, since it is just an extended form of oft, as far as I know. But looks very similar to what you can't think of...

Often is not derived from 'of ten', it is, as you rightly point out, related to oft. Thanks for emphasizing my point for me.

(lose spelled loose) is spelling a word more phonetically than the correct spelling, and the resulting word is a valid English word, so spellcheck will not catch it.

When I was a kid, my English teacher would dismiss anyone from class for using "gonna (going to)" "wanna" and etc.

Cannot imagine her screams when she encounters this "lose loose" dilemma.

Although my English sucks donkey balls, despite me having best grades at that time. We're living in a multicultural internet age. Spend two months on 4chan/Reddit and try to spellcheck yourself afterwards.

now that I know how many people are bothered by something as simple as your vs. you're I'm going to do it all the time.

This one bugs me. Not only do they have different meanings, they have different pronunciations. Your is one sylable, like yore, and you're is two syllables, rhymes with sewer. But the most annoying part of your-you're is that many times the sentence will have a valid but completely different meaning when the wrong word is used.

I can't argue with that. Your right. rofl

Your retarded .

What about his retarded smile? I think you forgot to complete your sentence!

It is my right to be offended at idiots.

Eh?

He said he can't argue with me because it is my right to be bugged by that sort of typo.

Then you started to say something about his retarded smileyface but didn't finish the thought.

Feel free to laugh at yourself Cheesy

.

Clearly you didn't get my joke, since I had to explain it to you. Who should be laughing?

Nice try.

kireinaha you know only a native speaker can understand another native speaker.
By the way, the correct form is still "lose" pronounced "loose".

In a 2010 study, it was estimated that approximately 9% of non-Hispanic Americans are fully bilingual, speaking English and having learned a new language fluently. That number jumps to 15% bilingual if you include Hispanics. On the other hand, 56% of the EU is multilingual. Countries like Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands increase that number to over 90%.

That's odd; I imagined that the percentage of bilingual people in the EU would be higher. But I suppose it makes sense, as older people are less likely to have had a second language at school. Roll Eyes

Americunts demand that everyone conform to their language. When people try but get something wrong they bitch at them. I don't know how many times in my life I've heard the phrase, "If you can't speak the American language right then get the fuck out of this country." Really dude? That doesn't sound like Cherokee your speaking.

EDIT: "[...] your speaking." you did that on purpose didn't you? Tongue

The EU is higher and yes, now that I know how many people are bothered by something as simple as your vs. you're I'm going to do it all the time. Basically, I'm a prick sent to the world by the FSM to annoy people. lol

Why can't people grasp the difference between the two? The pronunciation and meaning are completely different. For reference:

Obviously the meaning is different. This isn't a reason for not confusing those two. Also for non english speaking people like me the pronunciation is pretty much indifferent.
