Those people were quitters!

It’s the same with people typing that they “could care less”, when they mean they “couldn’t care less”. The worst is when people try to explain why “could care less” is correct, rather than just accepting that they are wrong.

Add people that say "whether or not" and "should of".

Alot noone and aswell, as well.

My brain is bleeding :(

You should really have that looked at.

Napkin as well, in the opposite direction as nuncle and norange. Keep in mind that the idea of putting a space between words in Western languages wasn't invented until about 800AD and took a long time to spread. So you would say that you gave an apkin to a nuncle so he could eat a norange, but you would write that you gave anapkintoanunclesohecouldeatanorange.

Is it any wonder why some nouns lost or gained an N?

Also who cares because the strength of English is that it can be spoken in so many ways because it's about a dozen other languages superglued together. It's robust as hell. Embrace its evolution because that means it's alive. You only have hard and fast rules for languages that are dead, like Latin, because no one speaks them enough for those rules to evolve. Not to mention that an evolving language is one that influences other languages, not the other way around. There's a reason English words and idioms and structures find their way into other languages and not the other way around.

I can't believe no one said carbuncle.

What is a thread if not just throwing words at a dart board?
