Did that man just raise his eyebrows in a suggestive manor? Dinosaur Comics knows all about homonyms:

Hee! They missed two of my favourites, though: 'should of' instead of 'should have' and 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely' (my favourite thing about 'defiantly is that sometimes it almost makes sense, for added lulz).

And something I came across this morning that is just too perfect not to share: GRAMMAR. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING YOUR SHIT, AND KNOWING YOU'RE SHIT.

edited for punctuation fail -- it was inevitable, in a comment about such. *sniffle*

'Defiantly' is more of a Cupertino effect. Misspelling 'definitely' as 'definately' will (or would, at least -- haven't tested recently) result in Word Autocorrect correcting it to 'defiantly', and probably giving it as the first suggestion in spellcheck as well.

Not that this makes it any less annoying, of course...

GRAMMAR. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING YOUR SHIT, AND KNOWING YOU'RE SHIT.

That is fantastic. I need to find somewhere to display that!

My mom says about half of these on a regular basis. I waste a lot of energy ignoring her.

I'm NEVER annoyed by the DYAC effect; it's TEH LULz.

Ooh, I hadn't come across that term before! Thanklies :D

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

Sounds like it's less wasted energy than trying to correct her, though. It would certainly be wasted on T-Rex, at least....
