Ask me which each one means and I can tell you, ask me to read a sentence and pick out the mistakes on words that sound the same and I find it incredibly hard.

Understanding and being able to type it are two totally separate things.

That doesn't make sense, at all. If you know it, then you know it.

I bet you could spot the mistake in this sentence with ease if you red it properly.

The spelling error is obvious. I hope you recognise the error if it is read out loud, though.

Do you pronounce herbs as 'erbs ?

Irrelevant. H is pronounced aitch, not haitch.

Amen brotha.

Also "pacific" instead of "specific" - my boss says this ALL THE TIME and I want to set him on fire. :mad:

I hate it when people say 'he's' when they mean his.

As in 'It's not mine, it's he's'

I would rather be dead then be a red...

Bob is smarter than me

Stelly

actually, i would rather be dead THAN a red, than is comparative, then is used to descrive order of events, or leading on from something

That only works if you're describing the order in which you wish to be 'dead' then 'a red'.
