I find it easier to mention these things in an occasional post because there is an epidemic and I don't want to spend my life chasing people.
Re Symphony - if I see something like that I just say because she wants to know. Symph is brilliant about wanting and receiving constructive comments and her writing continues to improve. A joy!

It's easier to out the odd post like this or those who are interested than nitpick mistakes. Life is too short. I can't help noticing these things and people see a mistake and think it is correct and repeat the mistake

I'm one of the worst. I know how to spell it but almost always spell it wrong.

BB..

First I went and made sure I didn't do this! I teased Symphony about it once because she used to use defiantly for definitely all the time. I see this alot. In these contests where we have certain words to use I'm also seeing them completely used incorrectly just for the sake of having them in the poem. I want to say something to the person, but I don't want to hurt feelings.
