Separate

"All right" is two words.

I was pretty sure "Alright" was correct, so I made research and found this: Common Errors in English.

"I could care less" - I care so much about it, the amount I care can't go any higher.

"I couldn't care less" - I don't care for it at all, there is no possible way for me to care any less.

Just something that has bugged me since it was pointed out to me in grade school english class.

[Almaa]

I made a thread like this something like 2 years ago and people said it should be stickied.

"I could care less" - I care so much about it, the amount I care can't go any higher.

"I couldn't care less" - I don't care for it at all, there is no possible way for me to care any less.

Just something that has bugged me since it was pointed out to me in grade school english class.

I've just always assumed that "I could care less" was said with a hint of sarcasm thus conveying the same thought.

[Ishido]

Wipe = Everyone dead. (Wiped out)

Whipe = Not a word afaik.

I don't know why, but when people say whipe it bugs the fuck out of me.

I always get this correct because my chem teacher in high school went off about grammar one day and talked about how there is A RAT in separate.

Heh, I never thought about it like that. On the internet, maybe. But I don't think I've never heard people say it with sarcasm out loud.

[SephYuyX]

'In to' and 'into' always irked me.

[Pyrena]

"too" - I'm going too. He's doing that too.
"to" - I'm going to the store. He is going to come with.

That one bugs me, but I'm not that great at being a teacher.

[Huggo]

When I was a tutor my boss taught me a good way to remember the it's vs. its thing.

You know that "its" means possession and "it's" is a contraction for "it is"

Just remember that "her" and "his" show possession and those words don't have apostrophes, so neither should "its".

Speaking of apostrophes, "Dog's" is not the proper way to pluralize "dog". That drives me crazy.

[Lawls]

Aggro and argo.

[Demosthenes11]

Worse is comparative. You are worse than me.

lol irony. Should be:

You are worse than I.

The am is implied at the end

[Zigma]

Worse is comparative. You are worse than me.

lol irony. Should be:

You are worse than I.

The am is implied at the end

correct me if i'm wrong but they're both correct and the only way that makes them wrong is the way you use them.


ref:

He has more friends than I. (His total number of friends is higher than my total number of friends.)

He has more friends than me. (I'm not his only friend; he has others.)

[Demosthenes11]

It depends in the way you use it yes, but the way you used it it should still be "I"
