How can you forget:

They're: A contraction for "they are". "They're going to the game today."
Their: Adjective indicating possession: "Their fans are so classless!"
There: Adverb indicating a place: "Let's go over there." among other uses.

They're going to steal our Bama magnets because their fans are so classless over there!

Bad grammar and misspelling words are also pet peeves of mine, however, other than making yourself feel a bit better by posting this, do you really believe this post will affect anyone's habits?:conf2:

I'm pretty sure this thread has nothing to do with football. Just as you don't like improper spelling, I don't like threads being on the improper board.:mad2:

There, I feel much better now. No, I take that back. I'll feel better once this thread is moved.

Spelling Nazi! DT_kar: :biggrin:

I've been one of the worst at chiding posters over spelling and grammar. It does no good and just angers some, so I've decided to let them be. It reflects badly on our school and our fanbase, but I guess since most of our fans are "dirt-road alumni" (as contrasted with AU, whose entire fanbase was apparently educated at a school that has enrolled in the general neighborhood of 20,000 to 24,000 students over the past 20 years), we can readily excuse them.

Furthermore, since according to the Alabama Department of Education's Teacher Preparation Program Performance Profile For 2003-2004, Auburn University graduates more teachers, but their graduates are not as well prepared to teach*, we can blame AU for the poor literacy of the denizens of Alabama.

*findings of the Alabama Professional Education Personnel Evaluation (PEPE) program were as follows:

Auburn University had 93 participants in the study from a total of 278 graduates from the School of Education in 2003-2004. Of those participants, 97% scored above the established benchmark.

The University of Alabama had 106 participants in the study from a total of 236 graduates from the School of Education in 2003-2004. Of those participants, 100% scored above the established benchmark.

Some of my favorites that people actually say are:

heighth as in the heighth of a building..

these ones. (one cannot be plural)

people don't typically write these but they do say them.
