LOL. I was bored and it drives me nuts to see that word misspelled so often. I don't know why.... I'm just a freak about some things I guess.

I swear it was just last year when i learned how it was actually spelled LOL. I used to spell it like 'definately'
Yep, that's the most common misspelling of it. To be fair, it is in the top most commonly misspelled words on web sites.
hahahahahahahahah. you tell 'em
defeniateyl bro

another one is "congratulations", even some of the most educated people spell it like "congradulations" and I'm like NOOOOOOOO
OH!! I KNOW!!!!!! Even though as FA pointed out, it's been a play of words, people don't get it and still spell it wrong. Another one is independent. Everyone always spells it independant.
IDK why I am like this. I don't mean to be and I NEVER correct anyone because it is rude, but inside I'm screaming NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

lol LeoLady, I am the exact same way! Simple misspellings of words, and especially specific ones, annoy the crap outta me...I guess some certain words being misspelled is ok, but for others, there is just no excuse! And I also get really annoyed by bad grammar...but that's a whole other story lol
LOL Feisty, me too! I can't help but always notice! My Mom is like that too. She's a Virgo..... so..... it fits for her. I guess I get it from her, IDK. I was always one of the top speller's in my class. And I HATE bad grammar as well. In college I was encouraged by my GC to pursue a degree in English and/or Literature based on my ACT scores. Of course, I didn't... went with business management and accounting (math related of which were my lower scores). Go figure. LOL.
But, I do use the words 'ain't, ya'll, and gonna' in everyday speech, but I NEVER incorporate it into my written or professional life. If I even suspect or question the spelling of a word, I will google it just to make sure I have it spelled properly. It's an obsession of mine. But, I'm very good at hiding it. Most people don't realize I am like that. π

"But, I do use the words 'ain't, ya'll, and gonna' in everyday speech, but I NEVER incorporate it into my written or professional life. If I even suspect or question the spelling of a word, I will google it just to make sure I have it spelled"You've just used those words though ? π
Yep, sho did! But, this isn't a forum where I project or promote my professional life. This is me being myself in everyday life and typing how I speak regarding the topic of conversation.
SMARTASS!!! π
just sayin
mine is "woman" and "women". ppl will often interchange the usage on these 2. mostly i see "women" when they meant it to be used singularly. none of it is a big deal to me (even though i can be somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my own spelling and grammar) as long as the point gets across.

Bet you're OCD or correctly put in alphabetical order for the real crazies CDO.... who cares and why stress when you understand what people are saying!! π
omg. π’
I've been spelling it wrong my whole life! WTF
All those papers I've written....
Spellcheck always just fixes it for me. Never even tells me I spelled it wrong.
Nah, those kittens love it really, getting all feisty and shit.Maybe, anyways
Tis true, tis true. We do love the feistiness. However, we do not like a smartass. Bling, you are definitely off the Christmas list! π

Shit! I'm so NOT OCD! Trust me! I don't stress out about it either. I was just bored and pointed out something that irritates me from time to time, that's all. π
People with OCD always say that...*smh* π
LOL! Probably true. Sometimes I wish I was OCD though. My house would probably be cleaner and I might actually be able to focus on one thing at a time. Now, if you were to ask me if I am ADD......
oh, look.... something shiney! *runs off to check out the sparkly object* π
Ah Ha Ha Bling! Maybe I should try some of that and I can get my house clean. But I could do without the scratching and the obsessive picking of the face! EW!!!!
