I belong to several groups for florists on Facebook. Almost every day I see posts referring to "florist", and the person is referring to more than one. For Heaven's sake people - it is florists. Is it so hard to remember to add the final "S"??? Singular is florist.....plural is florists!!
I see "rode" used for road. Just this week I have seen:
tail for tale
wholly for holy
quite for quiet
loose for lose
bare for bear
I suggest you consult a dictionary when you are writing a post and are not sure about the proper spelling of a word. Even spell check can't catch some of these errors.
Don't get me started on the use of "to" or "two" when you mean "too." I don't mean to be a snob about it, but jeez.....It's almost too much for this English major to bear.

Sometimes I wonder if they ever read what they have written. I mustn't be too cocky. Age can allow you to make the must stupid of mistakes but I do try.
