Grammar Ranger hats ON!
I could understand the abuse of "then", if it was mostly by foreigners. I just don't believe for a second that you English speaking (typing) people don't know the difference between "then" and "than". GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER FFS!
PS. For the record, I was never a member of =GR= Grammar Rangers (AQ2 clan).
heh

Ultravsitor thread ..pick any lengthier topic and you'll see one or two. It's just something I've noticed ever since I started using the net in 98, along with the other famous fuck ups. Like the one you mention.

What about lay/lie/laid (etc.)? No one gets those and it bothers no one.

Maybe it's not that common. The worst one still is "would of".
I just can't get over it. It's like the ultimate in retarded grammar when you start substituting words based on what it sounds like.
"Howlow! Howardyou?"
For the record, it is "would have" or "would've". The latter is probably causing the big confusion.

One that I find particularly annoying is "alot". Another is when People Randomly capitalise Words.

dunno, im not bothered by little things like 'alot'
the one I do find the most annoying is there/their/they're... I think this has to be the most rampantly screwed up.

"I am honored to accept the grammer ranger trophy."
"It's grammar. Give me back that trophy!" *snag*
And that was how, on that fateful april day, that w M w forever lost his chance to win first place in the grammer ranger competition. Or something.

horse, how about random lowercase? Capitalizing the first word of every sentence is kinda retarded and I drop it all the time. But then again, having a reason to do something never seems to correlate with having the right..

Insane amounts of exclamation marks !!!!!!! <--with a retarded space before the first mark !!!!!!!
One exclamation mark actually has more impact "than" five!
See?
