Alright, for all us nerds out there with too free time at the office, here's a question.

What do you think is the most misspelled word used in this forum?
 
It's definitely 'definitely'.

Honourable mentions also go to:

- you're (often misspelled as 'your')
- it's (used incorrectly as a possessive for 'it')

I'll never forget the post I read one day of someone who announced to us all that how they were very intelagant.

Hah! sounds like something Homer Simpson would say :D
 
My faves are the guys asking what various acronyms mean but who can't get them spelled right in their question. Much drollery ensues as well-intentioned TERBatrons attempt to guess the question, fall into argument w each other etc. etc.

Meanwhile OP, still struggling w sholace bows, is oblivious to it all.
 
Yatch has got to be the funniest shit I have ever heard, best typo ever on TERB...

Here are a few others:

their...there
effect...affect
your...you're
hobbiest...hobbyist
bbj...bbbj

and worst of all:

phine...PHNINE

:cool:
