Let me first say , English is not my native language (as most of you'd figured it out by now)  Now, the words ‘base’ and ‘bass’ has always confuse me; both words are pronounce the same if ‘bass’ refers to the musical instrument; isn’t? But when you’re referring to the fish or beer brand it’s pronounce different? … odd.

You've got it. It's because bass and bass are different words!  Bass: fish, ale (named after fish?) Bass: low sounds, a singer of low sounds, a musical instrument that produces low sounds Base: None of the above.

They all drive me crazy. Other than "gonna." And no one's mentioned there, their, and they're. I think the your and you're errors are particularly egregious. Also, quotation marks are not to be used for emphasis. They're for <gasp> quotes!

Its about time someone brought up this. Theirs literally nothing better then allot of guys talking about who's grammar is better. But the fact is that noone is perfect. Which begs the question, why do people complain when they know that their not perfect, to?
