Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

Mixing up weary and wary. Drives me nuts.

Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

Really? People mix those up? They're not even pronounced the same. What about all the their/there, you're/your, affect/effect, waist/waste stuff?

Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

Heh, I once read something along the lines of '[x] wrapped their arms around [y]'s waste' and immediately stopped reading in favour of laughing uproariously. It wasn't a bad fic, otherwise, just... whoops. Oh, [x], honey, that's just not hygienic...

[themperor]

This made me laugh out loud. Thanks for this.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO ANNOYING! Also, expect and except. I found a NY Times best seller with that one mixed up...

Other homophone mix-ups also annoy me, but not as much as those two for some reason.

expect and except

That's one I haven't encountered yet. But except/accept...countless times!

Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

[(Anonymous)]

With expect and except, I'd blame typo, not homophone error. Switch two letters, spellcheck won't catch it, and does anyone else remember that email forward that went around a few years back about people being able to read words if the first and last letters were correct, and the other letters present? I'm not surprised this happens.

Of course all the same excuses could apply to the calvary/cavalry mixup, which drives me insane.

Lose/loose. Drives me actually insane. They're not even homophones, really. Aaaaagh I can't stand it.

Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

[greenvelvetcake]

Really obvious misspelling/grammatical things make me cringe.

Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

[intrigueing]

Mine is spelling "discreet" as "discrete", because it happens SO FUCKING OFTEN. I actually am impressed when I see "discreet" spelled right, because even a lot of really good fanfic writers spell it "discrete".

Re: Things that make you immediately stop reading a fanfiction

[oroburos69]

I only learned the difference after I took a statistics class...okay, technically, it was my second stats class that I learned the difference.

Bit of an embarrassing mistake.
