Something is wrong with the new comments, so everyone will have to go back to the old blogger comments. Very sorry.
OK. Subject At Hand:
There is one other thing that bothers me greatly. Several bloggers have done this, and I hate pointing out typos, but it is 'wreak havoc', not 'reek havoc'. Wreak means to inflict, or cause. Reek means to smoke, steam, or fume, or to give off or become permeated with a strong unpleasant odor. I have never encountered a typo that has driven me so bonkers. Anyone who has done this can take consolation in the fact that I don't remember who you are. I just remember the typo.
I know, I know, I can't talk. I mix up your, you're, their, there, and they're (*cough* Tinyhands) on occasion when I'm really excited about something. But even though the typo is funny, it really does drive me crazy.
Anyone else have a typo that drives them nutso?

Ur preechin to th kwier. Itz a moo point anywayz.
Moo point! Like a cow's opinion! It's mooooooooooo!
Angi - I'm not too thrilled about the blogger comments myself. And sorry if you were the one who made the error. It's just one of my Zeldaquirks.
Tiny - Gd bcuz i lik it wen peepl agree wit me.
Kate - badumPA!
Greg - See now, I was under the impression that 'cunt' was reserved for something really heinous like cockteasing or murder. Whereas 'twat' sounds enough like twit to be both accurate and sufficiently insulting. I do, however, see your poing.
HA! I meant POINT! Just a typo, nothing sexual I assure you. Unless, of course, you want there to be. If that's the case, take it like you want it. :-P

YAY! Comments! I tried to get back to the other ones yesterday... anywayz.. tipos, I was really afraid you were talking about me because I use "reek" in my new post and then I remembered it had to do with stinking. Happy Holidaze to you, Jeth and young 'ens!!
have you figured out what is reeking havoc on your comments?
Oh yeah. Hope you, Jetro and the family have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Trash, I have no blinking idea. I think I'm going to have to turn off the fun ones. :-(
And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Jeth and the girls, Z. :o)
The ones that drive me crazy are mixing up the homonyms, to/too/two, and their/they're/there, et al.
I mean yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh, it's only one syllable right? You think people can manage a ONE-syllable word once in a while?
The above was spoken in the voice of Louis Black, with veins popping out at the forehead, and now I'm totally calm to show that it was just an act and I'm not really half as bothered by it as I seemed. :P
Apostrophe misuse definitely bugs me. Why does every sign painter in the world think that all words ending in "s" get an apostrophe? Then they assume that the apostrophe always goes ahead of the "s".
Lots of phrases are misspoken, but one of my peeves is:
"I could care less." No, no, no. If you could care less, that means that you do care. It's properly "I couldn't care less." That means that you don't care; it's impossible to care less than nothing.

All of them! I blame it on my former-newspaper editor father and my former-english teacher mother. Can't stand to see mistakes like that!

Oh yeah it is. Maybe when people start suing, others will start paying attention to their word use and grammar.
Yeah, homonym misuse definitely bugs me the worst. Like, "I'm watching my wasteline." Line what? Fucking ew.
