I mess up occasionally, simply because my brain works faster than my fingers when I type. But, I never do, when I'm actually writing.

My biggest CM pet peeve: those who can't even properly spell/type "pregnant" trying to become so, or asking if they are due to not using BC.

I have to admit. I am kinda with the anon. I make mistakes. I don't usually proofread my comments here as I am not submitting it for a professional reason. I DO know the difference between your and you're, but as this place isn't my job, I am not going to spend all my time proofreading things.

Oh, and the worst is "UR" used for everything: "your, you're, you are".

I'm sure that some people did not have the best education, they could have struggled with grammar or spelling even. Shit I couldn't tell you where a comma belongs in a sentence. I had no help at home and I had no one to push me to do homework.

I honestly don't care if I mess up at least I'm not text typing lol
