I really should post this, as it is very far Off Topic, but it happens
to be one of my pet peeves, so...
How about "there" and "their", "it's" and "its", "here" and "hear",
and the list goes on and on. English is not my mother tongue, but
it is rapidly degenerating, I feel sorry for the English (in both
senses of the word).
