"Eve" or "eve," instead of "EVE."

Originally by: Dretzle Omega And why do you guys throw that extra letter in there? Do you pronounce it? Or is the U just a soothing letter across the pond?
The colour-sans-"U" spelling and spelling "-ise" as "-ize" were invented by Noah Webster, while compiling a dictionary of standard "American" words. The misspelling was intentionally introduced as a way of further distancing the terrorist faction from the British Empire.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if that were actually true.

I often see "wreak" instead of "wreck" in corporation chat.
And regarding the verb for what a burglar does, it just feels unnatural to say that he "burgles" houses. Although I may have to start using the word when I'm mocking people on the forums complaining about can flippers or ninjas...
"Hey! That guy just burgled my veldspar!"
Actually sounds kind of dirty... -- Originally by: Greening Guys - it WASN'T my fault.. our prober left without warning us!!! im sooo going to pod his ass when i get back to normal space..

Eve Online is just like that: Eve Online. It is not EVE Online, EVE-Online, or EvE (despite the original logo).
It's Eve Online.

I saw that and didn't understand, until I went back and found someone saying 'burglarize'. Seriously, burglarize? If I see that I'll throw my monitor at your cat as well.
(Edit: summed up well here)
For me though, it has to be the lose/loser -> loose/looser thing.
"You loose!" "Your mum's loose."

I've noticed that sometimes people mispell a simple word like "EVE" -sometimes they spell it backwards so it comes out as "EVE"

Teh. Ursha'Khan. Cloack, cloacked, clocked. Usage: "he/she/it cloacked off the gate." *shudders* Your where they really mean 'you're'. And vice versa. Harbringer. I've been hearing this a lot for some reason. Maladection. Tanaris. Shot vs shoot. Loose vs lose. Lose vs. lost. Usage: "What did you lost?" Cladari.

No one said anything about dumbing. Just simplifying. The most elegant, and often best, designs, for example, are made my making them as simple as possible while still accomplishing its purpose.

This isn't so much misspelled but spelled differently:
In Eve, and the EU I guess it's: Defence
In the US though it's spelled: Defense

I find it more annoying that people waste time correcting themselves. Okay, so you've spelt - actually probably just typed it incorrectly and do know how to spell it - some word wrong. Unless it's a mass of letters I know what you meant to say, who cares that's not perfect.

That one annoys the crap out of me.
"u" is probably the most used one in the game. I guess people enjoy typing like 13 year old girls in an AOL chat room.
