I'm certainly no grammar nazi but seeing what passes for acceptable communication skills these days is enough to make one despair for the state of the world. I guess this is how people become grumbling old codgers that talk about the old days.

Well, us Americans have to figure out something to do seeing as how it's hard as hell to gamble online now.

I think 'Your / You're' are the most commonly misspelled words on the internet. I don't think it really matters as long as it's understood. It's different if people were mistakenly saying pineapple instead of loose.

"The slots are very pineapple today."


What's more important than spelling is taking a new paragraph every 4 - 5 lines as it can become difficult to read after this.

Actually, it's probably a tie between that and "there, their and they're."

And we have rouge (cheek color) and rogue (Virtual casinos forever and ever).

I also must add that both the loose/lose and rouge/rogue mix up can sometimes be simple mistyping.

this thread is hilarious, especially as Grammar is spelt with a second 'a' and not an 'e'

So who spells "Grammar" with an "e" in it ?
