 Posted: 01/24/05 - 11:50 Post subject: People that type "are" instead of "our"
|
|

Wtf?
What the hell causes this? How in the world could anyone consciously type the letters "a-r-e" when thinking of the word "our"? The two have absolutely no similarities of meaning or usage in a sentence.
This has to be one of the most annoying typing occurrences to see. It feels like a razor slicing through the eye to read.
In conclusion, don't be a redneck idiot, type "our", not "are".

I do that a lot and I've tried to analyze why (I usually go back and fix it). I think it's because even though I type reasonably fast (50-70 wpm), I think a lot faster than that. So I often find that I'm composing what I'm about to write in my head two or three sentences beyond what I'm currently typing. The grammatical part of my brain is working on what's currently being composed, while the actual typing seems to be delegated to a part of my brain that's turning sounds into typed words, but in a context-free way, based on the sound of the words.

"Want to sale"
"For sell"
I was thinking in the South people might get them confused due to the accent, but "For Sale" is such a common phrase (newspapers, on cars, etc) that I can't comprehend how anybody can think "want to sale" or "for sell" are correct.

You should see some of the e-mails from the mexicans in the office, it's f*****g atrocious.
"I need you to pull me this loans."
"Please go file this boxes."
Hell, one of them, a f*****g SUPERVISOR, had such poor grammer her in e-mails and when on the telephone, is not allowed to talk to customers on the phone or e-mail them.

There wouldn't be as much of a problem if we didn't use contractions. We should all talk like Commander Data, and we should all believe in Tanagra.

You should have capitalized "I," and no comma is needed after internet.

Heh, this is a pet peeve of mine. In addition to the "axes" and the are/ours, loose/lose are the verbal mispronunciations of more or less common words AND adding a f*****g "S" at the end of nouns when it is not warranted.
My conclusion? Children repeat what they hear. IF what they are hearing is not proper English (or whatever their native language is) then there is usually a much higher chance of mispronunciation, even as an adult. I'm not really sure where the addition of S to words comes from, though.
I really have to bite my tongue sometimes.

Not everyone has to sound out the things they type. Although I guess in some people's cases they have to pronounce and mouth every syllable:
"muh... hnk... ell... eff.... geee..."
