"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"

Spell Check Police
I realize that the following are problems of usage rather than spelling, but this shit needs to be addressed.
•Nauseous (adj)
1. Causing nausea; sickening
Nauseated (adj)
1. Affected with nausea
There is a difference. If you say that you are nauseous, you are saying that you make other people nauseated. Some of you are unintentionally correct when you say it.

•“For all intents and purposes”. Next person who writes that out as “For all intensive purposes,” is going to catch a case.

•Don’t bother telling me about how Webster’s now includes “irregardless.” The shit is still wrong, and you still sound like an idiot for saying it.

•Their – Belonging to them
There – At or in that place
They’re – Contraction of the words “they are”
“There go the idiots who can’t figure out how to type what they’re saying in their posts.” See how simple it is?

You are typing on a computer. There is no excuse for this shit.
