Re: "Has anyone else noticed or felt like the typo where youโ€ฆ"

I don't judge, just am amused by things like that.

My son quietly started a trend at his college some years back by repeatedly saying "I beg to defer" instead of "I beg to differ". A bunch of people he did not know were overheard saying that as his close friends chuckled.

People also seem to have a problem with there and their, even though it's pretty obvious.

As for I/me, don't get me started. It is so weird that so many people don't get it -- and usually in a way that makes them sound like pompous fools.

Has anyone else noticed or felt like the typo where you spell the plural form of a word as the possessive case (like typing 'I like cat's') is becoming more and more common?
