Of course, I was inspired by one of the closed threads in the main forum. There are a couple of spelling errors that I see on the internet all the time - even by those you would assume would know better (columnists and alike.) The two that really annoy me the most are "loose" when one should use "lose" and "rediculous" when the correct spelling is "ridiculous".

I always assumed everybody had that squiggly red line underlining a misspelled word, but maybe not? :confused: Don't get me wrong though. I've accidentally used the wrong form of a word - like right instead of write. Nobody is perfect, but still, it seems like a few of these words are being adopted as being used correctly when that is not the case at all.

Which words have you guys noticed being used incorrectly on a regular basis?
