So...take it all with a grain of salt...is fujiwara a type of sushi?
I'm one of those..( My Spanish sucks too, btw, but I'm, getting there..)
Anyway, I know the difference between quite and quiet and know when to use which one of the two.
A spelling error which annoyes me big time is: "I should of known" (instead of: "I should have known")
Yes, that bugs me too! Stupid lazy English speakers (makes it seems like shoulf of). Of course, the vast majority of us are guilty of this when we speak English, such as me.
Anyway, I'm a grammar and spelling Nazi. However, some things bug me and some things don't. l33t speak doesn't bother me (I can read most of it), although nobody really uses that all the time. "MSN" chat like lol, rofl, btw, omg, etc, I use myself. I usually conform to the expectations of wherever I'm at, however. Even on the most immature Internet forums I usually try to be as grammatically correct as possible. On this forum I especially keep close track of my spelling and grammar, since this is such a professional site.
