It's called "click bait" mostly used when op knows that they don't have anything of interest to share but want some attention...

I’m continually amazed how many people don’t seem to understand the meaning of the words they use. Stuff most people learn in elementary school.
Like:
Their, there & they’re.
An & and.
One & won.
Reel & real.
Probably & prolly. Prolly? That’s not even a real word.
There’s plenty more, but you get the idea.
Punctuation is important too, but often regularly omitted.

I had been calling it the incorrect pluralizing apostrophe. Then I was watching a British detective show and found out it already had a name.

I can sometimes learn something if I can understand them. I tell my wife I sure wish they would speak proper English on those shows.

If its me, I type fast and am usually in a hurry.
I just simply don't care on a forum or a text if its a bit wrong and in a hurry. Auto correct sometimes hops in too.
That said I get grumpy as heck when people muddle words on purpose like boolit. WTF. Same amount of letters. Whats the point.
At least spell check didn't like boolit. LOL.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Prolly has me thinking of a toddler trying to say probably. Me too at first, but, gotta be hip to remain relevant. If not, next thing ya' know, I'll be watching Rockford Files or Gilligan all day.
