One of my pet peeves is the use of “there” to mean “their” or “they’re.” I even see that on this board.

"pet peeve"

loose for lose. I can usually tell the age of someone when I see two os for lose. It must be in common usage by the younger set.

I more often see people mix up “then” and “than”.

“Rather then”...wtf is that? “It's better then meatballs” ?

What does that mean? Whatever “it” is, was sick, got better, and now is meatballs?
