The spelling freak in me is laughing out loud over the joy of someone else knowing what a tilde is.

Then you'll just orgasm over this...


... guillemets! guillemets! diaeresis! pilcrow! and finally... interrobang!

ending with a ❧ dingbat.

Was it good for you too?

Can we expand this a bit to include common spelling mistakes. It's sad that four letter words are seemingly not taught in school. It seems that foreiners from non English speaking countries are still taught spelling and punctuation.

For example 9 times out of 10, people seem to get confused by your and you're.

your refers to something belonging to you. Like your car.

you're is the shortened version of You are, hence the apostrophe.
