Your/Weather/Too. - rant

[Raymond Lin]

I wonder weather your coming to.

Whether, Weather
To, Too
You are, Your

"I wonder whether you are coming too."

The to/too mistake can be a typo, missed out the letter O, that I can just about stand once in a while. The you're/your thing is so common I feel like English is getting dumber down by the day. But lately, I see more and more of the Whether/Weather mistake. That is not a typo, that isn't even trying to save letters when typing or texting, what is that? Do people seriously don't know and never seen the word Whether before?

Does "I wonder weather I should go out tonight" actually sounds right in your head?

/Monday morning rant over.

sorry!

Of course it does, otherwise we wouldn't make the mistake all the time.

It does? Really?

 

[Morba]

Insert standard response:

Get over it

 

[Lysander]

I'm trying really hard for this to bother me but it just doesn't.

 

[Sp00n]

Of course it sounds right, they are pronounced the same way.

I will, but i had to say it.

May be i will start doing it on purpose TO.

No, i can't do it, I sounds TO retarded.

 

[Glaucus]

why wouldn't it sound the same? People write how they speak most of the time. The H is not emphasised.

What,s with all the grammer rant threads recently? Its getting ridiculous. Does anyone really care weather people are using the occaisional word incorrectly? I think their should just be one big grammer thread, so everyone can have a proper moan and others wouldn,t need too start there own threads to.

I don't know whether did that on purpose but you spelt whether wrong.

It might SOUND the same in hour head, but we are typing it on it, does it actually look right ? Really?

Is GCSE English getting this easy now?

Should be "Do people seriously not know and have never seen"

 

[Scuzi]

LOL at Raymond Lin criticising other people's English!

Is that all you noticed?
Poster did well in that case

 

[Lysander]

Should be "Do people seriously not know and have never seen"

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Hour is not pronounced the same as your.
If it sounds the same it looks right. When you read something back you don't see the letters you see the general shape and the sound it makes.
