I'm not thinking of common typos such as "teh"

The one that sticks out to me is "definitely", commonly spelled "definately".

( come on people , we really should be using the preveiw tool for spell checking is this thread ..even if I never do so under normal conditions ;))

pride goeth before a fall

spell checking in this thread ..

noticed too late for the edit button ..cuts slice of humble pie ..adds mayo and chili sauce

Wonders? do mods spell better than the rest of us ..or is it just they have their edit buttons available all the time? and can thus remove the incriminating items ;)

We is just smarter than you.

Also,"company name" is by definition referring to more than one person

Whose definiton (or in keeping with the title of this thread, I should have said "who's" :)). Ever hear of a corporation that has only one owner?

Here's another defintion:

A legal entity chartered by a state or the federal government and is separate and distinct from the persons who own it. A corporation is considered an artificial person--it may own property, incur debts, sue or be sued. Ownership is held by stockholders who have limited liability--that is, they can only lose what they invest.

we are just etc ..
you should be asleep anyway

"company" ..in the original sense means band of men ..so actually does corporation ..as defined in England hundreds of years before your ancestors emigrated to where you now abuse the english language from ;))

and before there were lawyers definitions to ( attempt to ) make words mean other than that which they had always meant and what they were intended to mean ;)

"who did you go to the party with?"

No kidding. lol.

"With whom did you go to the party?"

I could pull that off with a smirk on my face every now and then, but if I spoke like that all of the time, people would look at me like I was an alien and not even understand what I asked most of the time.

too right! :-)

I think that was Churchill's point.

Leosghost, did you spell review as "reveiw" on purpose? Are you toying with us.

added: "site" as "sight" is another classic. Cheers for remembering that one!
