Stoopid Homonyms!

[the_gneech]

I know the difference between "there," "their," and "they're." I know the difference between "too," "to," and "two." I know the difference between "your" and "you're."

So WTF is up with me always typing the wrong stupid one lately? I have to go back and double-check everything I write and fix all the broken homonyms! As somebody who is constantly being irritated by the general illiteracy of much of the internet, it particularly sticks in my craw to be making these dumb mistakes.

Harumph!

PS: I also know the difference between "homonym" and "hominem," but I had to look it up to double-check first.

Their, their. They'res probably nothing two worry about... your probably just to tired. Most people have to read through there work too times - you're writing is probably the same way.

{Figuring those sentences out has imploded the syntax portion of my brain.}

At least you aren't mixing up one and won or for, fore, and four. Suddenly three looks so nice. It's just.. three.

I know. I catch myself doing it all the time. You're concentrating on getting the words OUT not spelling them correctly.

That's what a good editor is for, BTW. :)

Your subconscious wants you to drive me crazy, that's what. ;)

Sometimes I do that too, except the difference is that I always seem to catch myself doing it. My only guess is that some bit of my brain likes to go on vacation.
