Misspelled words that drive me CRAZY

skiddish - Do people think this comes from critters skidding as they run away? NO! It's skittish!
ect - This is an abbreviation of the word "etcetera." It's spelled, "etc. with a period!

I stopped taking the hormones again. I wonder if my extreme irritation this morning with these common misspellings is due to hormonal imbalance?

i notice that in my own language people also write very bad. Escpecially youth doesn't make an effort anymore for writing correctly. it's a shame. I'm afraid that in a generation or two the skills of writing will decrease a lot.
Too bad. Words are such a lovely item to express feelings and thoughts. They should be used in the rightful usage.
