This is a real pet peeve of mine. I know this is just the English language teacher coming out in me, but I think this is a simple concept with no real benefit (in terms of time ) to using them incorrectly.

There are 6 plants in my veg room.
Their leaves are all dark green.
They're going to the flower room tomorrow.

Sorry I just had to get that off my chest. You can continue to go about your business of screwing up these three words, and coming off like a fool.

I don't mind Internet lingo, if it serves the purpose of shortening or making typing faster. Using the wrong word in this case does nothing but make you look stupid.

Main Entry:1fool Pronunciation: \ˈfül\ Function:noun1: a person lacking in judgment or prudence


I would say it takes good judgement and prudence to use proper English.

People like you make me sick,going from what you wrote here your the kinda guy that think's he's better than most,in this case your better because you can spell & use words in the correct way,big fukin deal !

People have different skills,yours just happens to be spelling,again big deal,i cant spell worth a damn but i can build a house from the ground up with my own two hands,can you ?,i can also tear down a Harley with my eye's closed & rebuild it,can you ?

There are plenty of good people here who cant spell worth a shit,you know nothing about any of us,what kind of people we are,what skills we have or even how we lead our lives yet you proclaim that were a bunch of fools because we cant spell as good as you.

You need to step the fuck down from your position of enlightened superiority & stop casting broad generalizations about people you know nothing about.
 
Before this gets out of control and you all start ripping on me for being an elitist bastard, please realize that I make many mistakes myself. The only difference is that I make an effort to correct myself. I just thought that since I saw many instances where people were using these common words incorrectly that I would bring it up.

Would you think it looked less than intelligent if I wrote:

Mary Jane is a very deer friend of mine.
The bottom 1/3 of my plants are bear after I trimmed them.
I hope my harvest will be ready four spring.

Nope. You got me they're.
 
panhead im right with you man i cant spell to save my ass but i can rip a harley down and along with just about carb and rebuild it and make them run like a bat out of hell.
thanks widowmaker i never really did anything but read my own books in english class so i never really learned what i should have. kind of always wondered the differences in the words
