[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 66635, member: 18"] Eosin - Neither Gengis or Jengis is correct, of course, and I often hear Chingis instead, which is apparently "better"... Anjana is just crazy talk. People really wouldn't understand you if you used it... My personal peeve at the moment, something I'm seeing a great deal of, even in some allegedly "professional" sites is release(d) being used for realize/realise(d). It's as bad as loose instead of lose, an error which has always driven me up the wall. My biggest spelling peeve, though, would be no specific word, but rather, when someone spells something obviously incorrectly, and you reply, spelling it correctly, but not saying "You suck, lern to spel!", and they ignore you showing them the correct spelling, instead continuing with the wrong one, even if it's completely insane (like release for realise)... Gah... Grammar on the internet is a trickier matter, as most people write according to how they talk, rather than according to literary standards. Whether this is correct or incorrect is open to debate in the case of "chat" or BBSes, but is clearly incorrect in the case of news reports, articles, and rants written offline... [/QUOTE]
