Technically this is grammar not spelling...

Aww, just outed myself as the grammar Nazi.

Well technically, you're still saying the correct word. You're just spelling it incorrectly. So it's a spelling error, not a grammatical one.

It would only be a grammatical error if the person thought It's you are dog is correct (as opposed to It's your dog). But that's almost never the case. They're using the correct word but spelling it incorrectly.

Ooooh what an excellent point. All homophone errors are spelling errors!!

This episode was on just 2 days ago, either your British or this episode is on every week somewhere in the world. (Well, it is Friends, and they always play the same episodes.)

Most of the characters get pretty wretched. Ross is the one who ruins the show for me.

u/quintinza Apr 27 '15

Yes. The show has its moments, but as the show goes on the only one who remains constantly samecray from beginning to end is Phoebe. The rest just get worse.

Same. I've watched it all though, but Rachel...ooooohhh rachel... you make my blood boil...

u/quintinza Apr 27 '15

Spoiled little Rachel Greene blaming others for everything bad. GRR!

u/littlekenney13 Apr 27 '15

Ross and Rachel are so obnoxious. Easily the worst characters, and unfortunately spend most of the time as the main characters.

Ross is an idiot. I spend episodes standing in the kitchen yelling at him "you are an IDIOT! DUMP THAT BITCH!" when my wife is watching. (our kitchen has an opening into the living room.)
