I know I am not the only person that is a poor speller base on the fact that just about every thing I use, has a Spell Checker. Yahoo even has a spell checker as I compose this question to be posted. Every company that I use to send an email has a spell checker, Microsoft's Word Works Processor has an auto spell checker programed in. There have been times when applying for a job, The company had all job applicants to check which one was spell correctly: (sincerely, sinecerly, or sincerly. this is just an example). There was a whole list of words & I had to check the correct spelling of each word. With so many Spell Checkers around, I know there is alot of people that don't know how to spell good. Does anyone have an estimated number? I expect the number to be in the Millions. Thank you for taking the time read & answer this question.

A majority of us do not know a language other than English if we were not born and/or raised outside the country. It is very popular to say the "foreigners" should learn English but how well do we know English?
Take a sentence such as you may hear on TV. "If he would have caught that pass ...". What a nightmare of a grammatical sentence to parse. What is it, a past pluperfect future conditional tense? Why not try not to sound intellectual and just say "If he had caught the pass ...". The event has already occured. There is no future associated with it (no will or would).
While we are at it people should look up the meanings of
misnomer, criteria, affect, principal, effect, principle, disinterested, criterion and many more commonly misused words.
People should learn what an "intransitive" verb is as I see all verbs are more increasingly being used transitively.
I learned English and so can your politicians and news anchors and editors.
OK, my English is suspect but not bad.

Why do so many people have such a hard time with these words? I mean, you don't have "less cars" or "less coins" - you have "fewer." You have less water or less air. Get it? And "loose" means to "let loose" or "the knot is loose" -- you don't "loose weight" -- you "lose weight."

Anybody else have grammar pet peeves that piss you off?
