re: Why can't half of the posters on the OT use these simple words correctly?

Good one. I laugh at people who use apostrophe's in regular plural word's. I realize it's probably just a reflex typo on here, but it's way too common in work-related email's I get.

Well that may be the case but it is not the case here, the mistakes I pointed out are made daily by a lot of different posters.

Jordan and Jordon. Jordan is a name, Jordon is not.

Start a new thread on improper punctuation.

A lot of retards also like to end sentences with prepositions. I am sorry but if you say something like "Where did you get that at?" you sound like a fricking hillbilly.

I've heard it both ways.

Spelling is overrated
quote:
Alfred Mosher Butts
Unfamiliar with this name? Well, you’re probably familiar with what he created, though it might surprise you to learn that Butts was a bad speller. He created the iconic and still quite popular game Scrabble, which requires one to be adept at spelling. The inventor himself was admittedly not the best speller, often scoring only 300 points on average in a game of Scrabble.
quote:
William Faulkner
Faulkner wasn’t a truly terrible speller, but if you take a look at his original manuscripts there are some definite errors the iconic Southern author wouldn’t have wanted to see in print. Despite setting many of his famous books and short stories in the difficult to spell and pronounce Yoknapatawpha County, Faulkner’s editors confirm that despite their repeated attempts to point out his mistakes, he made spelling errors all through his career.
quote:
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Few writers are so known for their bad spelling as Fitzgerald. How bad, you say? Fitzgerald wasn’t even able to spell the name of one of his closest friends, Hemingway, often misaddressing him in correspondence and papers as “Earnest Hemminway.” The editor of his collected letters called him a “lamentable speller” who struggled with words like “definite” and “criticism.” Still, his poor spelling didn’t seem to do the author any harm, and many of his works are regarded as literary masterpieces today.
quote:
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway may not have had much room to judge when it came to his friend Fitzgerald not spelling his name correctly. Long before the days of spell check, Hemingway had to rely on newspaper and book editors to catch his mistakes, a job which they often complained would be a lot easier if he would make an effort to spell things correctly (though Hemingway retorted that that’s what they were being paid to do).
quote:
John Keats
The brilliant Keats died quite young at only 26, so one can hardly blame him for not spending time worrying about spelling in his written works. If readers want to get a taste of his more interesting spelling choices, they only need turn to his letters. They record many odd spelling choices, including the misspelling of purple as “purplue” in a letter to his love Fanny Brawne, a misspelling which she questioned and Keats tried to cover up by saying he was creating a new combination of purple and blue.
quote:
Albert Einstein
Being bilingual, one could hardly blame Einstein for being a bad speller in English. Yet it wasn’t just in English that Einstein struggled. He also was a pretty bad speller in his native German, and got even worse when he began using English more regularly. Of course, Einstein didn’t make those same errors when it came to writing mathematical equations, a fact that helped to make his name synonymous with genius today.
quote:
Winston Churchill
While today Churchill may be regarded as a great leader and speaker, he had a rough start in his schooling, always struggling with spelling and writing. He was a notoriously bad speller throughout his life, but he never let it hold him back. He battled through his difficulties, which also included a speech impediment, to leave his mark on the world.
quote:
Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo helped define the term “Renaissance man,” excelling in both the arts and the sciences, but spelling may not have been his forte. He is quoted as having once said, “You should prefer a good scientist without literary abilities than a literate one without scientific skills.” Some historians believe he may have been dyslexic (there is no way to prove that, of course) as his journals and writings are riddled with spelling errors common with dyslexics.

You seem to butcher "it's" and "its" on the regular. These are two completely different words that completely change the meaning of your sentence when you use them incorrectly. Why can't you tell the difference between these two words and use them correctly? Are you a "fricking retard" (as you like to say)?

does anyone know why this is so hard for people?
The mistake we seem to be making is spelling words like they sound, confusing are and our is a prime example. Technically these two words shouldn't be pronounced the same, but that's how we talk which is bleeding over into how we write. I have no idea why it happens, and I never used to do it back in the day when I'd have to write things for school, but I catch myself making these kinds of mistakes all the time while typing.
