I am sure it has been covered in this thread, but what gets me is using the word "loose" for "lose", and "rediculous" for "ridiculous".
I am not the world's most articulate speaker or writer, but I have seen the former being used everywhere on the internet. In fact, I have even seen news articles, supposedly written by professional writers, use the word "loose" for "lose". Such as in example, "They are going to loose this ball game!" How, exactly? By playing loose?

I have too, all over Facebook and I am so sick and tired of it. I have been speaking up, and have been told I'm "inappropriate," I should "give more consideration," etc. I said, "No! Spelling you're and lose wrong is inappropriate!!!" Someone just called me a troll! Grrrrr!! No, THEY are trolls!

The problem is, in the internet world, things seem to catch on like wild fire. The more times you see improper usage of words online, the more accepted it becomes. And if you try to point it out, you're labeled the grammar Nazi.
When I saw someone post the word "rediculous", I asked them what was rediculous? They answered by saying, "Can you not read?"
There is a TV commercial for milk, I believe it is, and they have "ingredients" misspelled on a banner. The commercial features a spelling bee. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe I'm missing something and they're trying to be ironic? It says, "INGREDEINTS"
I saw a preview for an insipid looking TV show recently. I can't remember the name of the show being advertised right now because it looks like my version of hell... some take on "Pride and Prejudice" but with Lifetime acting. The preview claims that "she may be a bit prejudice." Not "prejudiced," but "prejudice." It made me irrationally angry. I am sick and have a fever and dang it, I just want people to consult a dictionary. (I'm watching too much TV, apparently, because I'm too sick to do anything productive!)
Here are a couple of class acts sharing their important opinions online:
Your retarted!
No your retarded if you think believe this.
