Most annoying spelling mistake in WoW chat?

[De Lupe]

PST, LFG, LFR, WTB, WTS

If they really can't be bothered to type it out, why bother chatting it?

My GM can't give 2 shits about anything regarding names.

Epicenter? EPIDEMIC.
Garalon? GALLEON, GALLEONA, GARA'JAL.

Those are verbal "spelling" mistakes, mind you, constantly shouted on Mumble while 3-4 of us are getting used to correct him to avoid more confusion.

"Bloodlust increses casting speed by X%"

I definately want to cast slower.

That tooltip is correct. Higher casting speed means shorter casting time. And that's what BL does, so what's your problem?

On the topic: most people, including native speakers fail at correctly using there/their/they're, which is pathetic beyond imagination.

You know if someone is "raging hard" on the internet, that translates as "mildly annoyed" in real life, right?
Hyperbole is fun.



Edit1: Obviously I mean HYPERBOLE IS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER.
Edit2: Aneurysm*

In all this years I've never seen anyone spell "rogue" to be honest..

Nothing annoys me more than when people say probally/prolly instead of probably.

[Shiny212]

think it has to be to/too

What's the most annoying clerical error/spelling mistake in wow chat?

Mine is that magic word for compare: THAN...It makes me so sad and mad when someone writes in chat: all herbs cheaper THEN ah

rouge when people want to say rogue

then/than

they're/there/their

you're/your

English is my second language and I don't even do the dumb mistake of using your when I mean you are....

How good for you! Here, have a cookie, good sir.

Ogrimmar, yeah I went there, looking at you two moons!

The fact that people think that there is a letter "h" somewhere in exalted.

Your and You're really bugs me, because they really do mean totally different things and I wish that if people didn't understand the difference, they should just stick to "You are" (rather than use you're).

Being a native English speaker but learning Finnish, I can honestly say that the "lose / loose" is one that will probably change in the English language due to it sounding more logical when an emphasis is put on the "oo". In Finnish, letters are always pronounced the exact same way, but "lose" in English, is definitely an oddity (take pose, hose and rose as examples).

Yeah, first two are annoying, rest are just a ''just saying'' factor

- pl0x <--- plox <--- plz <--- pls <--- please. Come on. It's enough.

- Using ''lol'' in every sentence. Every sentence. Excuse me, do you have some kind of illness or something? Maybe a sub-conscious laughing disorder?

- Most common miss-spell I see is people saying ''dieing'' instead of ''dying''

- A lot of people miss-spelling They're, Their, You're, Your, His, He's etc. This helps:

This is they:



Seriously, this is what I imagine I'm talking to whenever someone uses "lol" in each sentence. It.. it helps.

.. it helps.

My eyes bleed when I notice this in chat.

Z.

[smelltheglove]

Hmm... I see. It does help. Thank you.


I wonder how it is for those who use ''rofl'' or ''lmao'' too oftenly... Maybe a psychotic mental phase but you gotta ask yourself how they manage to type while having those attacks.

I don't use it in every sentence, but in-game or via text I can get pretty bad with the lol. I usually use it when I'm being sarcastic or making a joke that has a tone that could be taken offensively. I also use it to show slight amusement at something. I rarely laugh IRL when I say lol. Mostly it means you amused me or I find it humorous. If I chuckle I put LOL, and if I straight up laugh I'll put lmao or rofl.

Misspelling or misstating words like:

Rouge (Rogue)
Inscriptionist (Scribe)
Than (Then)
halp (help)
guise (guys)
kthxbai (ok thanks bye)
plz or plx (please)
LF Partial Trainer (turned out to be Portal Trainer)
LF Leveling Guild (translates to "I am lazy and don't wanna level the alt I made when I got bored on my main")

There's probably another 10 or 15 I could toss in there, but I'm sure I covered the heavy hitters.

Some of you people wailing over the death of all language over a single "definately" need to seriously reconsider your outlook.

Do you think Noam Chomsky just types out perfectly proof-read manuscripts? Implying that someone doesn't care about language or grammar if they ever dare to make a simple mistake is asinine at best, malicious at worst.

Edit: OT, I tend to notice glaring issues but I rarely say anything or really care that much. Honestly, if you have a fit over these errors every time you'd be putting yourself in danger of an aneurysm, they're simply too common.

The only time I cared, especially to say something, in recent memory:

"LF Inscriptor"
"Need Inscriptorer pst"
"LF Inscriptioner" etc, on and on for a few minutes.

The person appeared to be genuinely grateful, but I mostly cared that they stopped spamming relentlessly.
