Spelling or grammatical errors you be the judge. I pick the ladder. lol

Honestly, some of us have medical issues that do not help in these situations.

I forgot....in advertisements, the word perspective for prospective.

I understand that English is not everyone's primary language and much of this can be ovelooked......sometimes it just makes it a little more difficult to understand what someone is trying to say.

We may learn from examples of those common mistakes, English is not my 1st langauge like many others on this forum, it's not a big deal really making few spelling mistakes every now and then but the best is to write correctly.
One can use the spell check (ABC) from the above buttons but then sometimes one has to choose from several suggestions to correct a word

Ibrahim,

Alot is my downfall. I'm still convinced it is in a dictionary or written in stone on a tablet somewheres.

OK, you want some of my favorites?

1. SepARATe, not seperate.

2. ConfOrmation, not confirmation.

3. Improper use of "then", which is a point in time, for "than" which indicates a choice of something's. I say this one because it is Chaz's peeve. LOL

4. Wander, to travel aimlessly, for Wonder, a sense of amazement.

5. Recently there was Mute for Moot. Easily done, but mute, is being physically silent; moot, means all conclusions to arguments remain equally uncertain.

I will be sure to add more. This is a quick top five, LOL
