Definately....NOT!!

The one about the crumbs....

ducks....

glass

Was it Mark Twain who said.....?

Anyone who can only think of one way to spell a word obviously lacks imagination

Just saying

I am a lost case anno

I seem to have made at least two of you itchy! BTW - glass, it's the most common mis-spelling I came across when teaching mature students and always told them to think of 'finite'.

phoenix all my sins are little ones

Keeps the crumbs down

Ooooh anno ! The times I've had to metaphorically bite my lip over "definately"

My other "itch" as you put it in the opening post is "of" when it should be "have". I have even come across this in novels, makes you wonder who does the proof reading.

glass come out at once! I think we are allowed our little peccadilloes from time to time. (bet I've bloody spelled that wrong!)

or the "effect"/"affect" confusion?
(*glass*, why do you keep ducks behind your chair?)

No - that wasn't in Pedants' Corner. I deliberately posted it here so that non-pedants didn't have to read it, though, of course, they probably will.

Is this going to be like the 'loose' and 'lose' thread?

sorry but life is too short <ducks behind the chair>

thought - the curse strikes again!

Oh no, I never even though of that!

Ana I could be the Curse of Pedants' Corner, if you like.

That was to anno, of course.

It's the curse of Pedants' Corner...!

Independent is another one, often misspelled, that is without an a.

And I, pedant though I may be, managed to miss out a question mark in that post, despite reviewing it. Mea culpa.
