Feel free to add to the list :)

I've got the hump! (yeah, yeah so what's new!!!) after spending some time on that other place.
So I want to point out a few things

Your - belonging to you. You're - short for you are

There - a place. They're - short for they are Their - belonging to them.

Too - as well as. To - where it's going. Two a number after one.

We're - we are. Were - past tense of are. Where a location.

Than - a comparison. Then - a point in time.

Dose - a measure of medicine . Does - to do something.

Rant over, I know we all make mistakes but I feel better now

Are you all right there? Instead of Hello/Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening.

complimentary food instead of complementary food

appraise when you really mean apprise (evaluate v tell)

Don't forget, does also mean the plural of deer.....

Less v Fewer

elder v older, eldest v oldest,

unique is not a comparitive, so you cannot have QUITE unique or VERY unique.

110% or anything over 100. 100% is the most you can have.

Hahaa Nippy.

I understand why a few of my friends can't spell right, and my OH.. due to learning difficulties with my friends. My OH just thinks he should spell everything how it's spelt. So "can't" is "carn't" I tell him off all the time..

if a business grows by 10% then it is 110% the size it used to be
