Sometimes however, people are so careless about they’re(their) spelling that I’m sorely tempted to correct it.
There are far to(too) many mistakes made by native English speakers on Ironworks. People are careless and feel that they have free reign(rein) to make mistakes without having them corrected. Perhaps we could diffuse(defuse) the situation by putting our posts through a spell checker. As long as everyone tows(toes) the line there should be no problem.
If, like me, you want to spell correctly, you’ll need to practice(practise) more. Then there will be on(no) arguments!
What do you think?
