Is it just that people don't care or is it they really don't know the proper usage? It's as bad as people not knowing the difference between they're, their, and there.

Reminds me of a song, that can be interpreted in three different ways.

"Hey, you broke my heart into many pieces"
"Hey, you broke my heart in two <pause> many pieces (double pun)"
"Hey, you broke my heart in too many pieces!"

To this day, no idea what the author meant :)

Just a quick Q: You see to have used one example in each of the bottom lines, but did you intentionally use "then" instead of "than" in your first line, or are you just as bad as the people you are trying to say are bad?

Also: could and couldn't. They have pretty different meanings.

it's like your and you're, as well. i think most people do know the difference, they just don't care enough. i'm sure if they went back to edit what they wrote, they'd catch it.

yea..i intentionaly used "then" instead of "than'. I know way too many people who don't bother to use "than" and just use "then" for EVERYTHING. "he is taller then I am"; "let's go to the park then". All 3 lines are examples of how bad people are.

corrected all 3 lines would read:

Is two better than too or better than to?
Why is it that when they're not around their cats go there?
He should have gone there..but I would have left.

I think its more acceptable to not know the difference of that compared to loose and lose.

its not that they are difficult as I am sure that most people can explain the differences. Its just nobody give a fvcking sh1t except anal rententive a$$holes like you.

And if your too lazy to spell check in a business environment you deserve to be tooled for it.

Edit: i'm not really saying your an a$$hole.....I like you and would give you a hug right now if i could.

Agreed. The funniest/saddest one is 'grammer' which you see everywhere these days :disgust:
