I had a boss that used to say 'idea' as 'ideal'. When ever someone made a good suggestion he would say, "That sounds like a good ideal." I was always like wtf? This has nothing to do with ideals, lol. I don't mind the leet speak, so long as the whole damn message isn't written like that.

I agree! When we have meeting at workthere are a few people who will say, "Alls we have to do..." And, "So I says..." Its so hard not to laugh when they say it. But I hear it so much I started to say alls. But my girlfriend put me in check.

My pet peave is people that type 'prolly' instead of probably.

Sorry but I just absolutely hate incorrect spelling and poor grammar...what I really hate is "text" speak...I could understand it on the old mobiles before predictive text but now it's so easy and sometimes easier to just put the right word.

Then we have text speak on an internet forum ...what's that about?
My "predictive text" almost always "predicts" the wrong word so either I end up typing it out, or using 1337.

There should be a "next" button to see the next possible match, You'll probably find it's within one or 2 clicks.
