In a word----uneducated. "There" does not mean "their" or "they're" but 85% of high school graduates now can barely read at graduation. So using the wrong words surprises who?

IRA simply means something different in the USA than it means in the UK. I believe you know this. We've had these accounts available at least since the mid-70's. They had to call them something. What else would you call an account set up for an individual to invest for retirement, the nature of the investments and the amount being invested being at the discretion of the individual investing? Many Americans had to go out and do our own research to find investment companies that fit our needs and don't charge a bunch of fees. McDonald's has already done that for their employees, and makes it as simple as filling out a line on their w-4's. Somebody had to find a way to make this a bad thing. BTW, perverting "individual retirement account" into "Irish republican army" is a MUCH bigger stretch than saying the British Broadcasting Company is a place to get big black cock.[image deleted]

Mostly just by mistake. Sometimes it's supposed to be funny.
I had a book called [i]Six Minutes a Day to Perfect Spelling[/i] back when I was in middle school, and it was already several years old then. Close to the beginning of the book was a list of the (however many) most commonly misspelled words. A lot of them didn't even belong on the list, because people technically don't misspell them, they just use the wrong word. "Too" is not a misspelling of "two," it is the wrong word.

It might be rare. I remember seeing it at least a couple of times, found it humorous.
