A friend, majoring in English

sent me an email, and used "all intensive purposes" INTENTS! Damn it! Annoying Americans!

 

[AnnabeI Lee]

Use this rant

to give other annoying examples

~Gaily being an English snob~

 

[רוקד עם שבלולים]

you know what I hate?

people using "4" and "2" instead of "for" and "to". Also: than and then can drive me isane, apostrophes bring me to my knees, "Its" and "it's", it's easy, you s&#ts! though and through; pay attention, you! But you know what truly makes me sick? when people have spelling mistakes in their own nicks.​

Regarding spelling mistakes

in nicknames- Even worse is spelling mistakes in billboard signs.

And the spelling mistakes in nicknames are truely so annoying.

Well

In Tzfat, they misspelled "beauty" (wrote it as "beuaty"). I'm pretty sure I've seen it in cities in central Israel, too. I see it a lot, and that's the only example I remember right now.
