Why do people think that "As well" is one word? "Aswell"

Can't say I've ever encountered that one. If I read that spelling aloud, I'd be sorely tempted to pronounce it "asswell"...and I'm not sure I want to know what an asswell would be. =)

Another problem is when people see words like "sometime", "anyone" or "into" and assume that in any situation where the two component words are side-by-side in that order, they should just be shoved together. For example: one could talk about any one (not "anyone") of these words being used improperly.

I don't see that alot. I think your going rouge on that complaint.

I'd like to correct your spelling -- the word in question should obviously be "sea" :-P

Doh!

Reminds me that we had an entire thread about both "rouge" and "Baulder's Gate" earlier this year complete with etymological tangents, it was fun:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/are_that_many_people_dyslexic_or_do_most_english_native_speakers_actually_think_rogue_is_spelled/page1

I have to admit I'm awful for that... and putting two words which aren't naturally a word together together (basically many common phrases starting with any or not), I can't actually think of any off the top of my head but I find spell checker telling me they're not words all the time...

Scratch that, spell checker tells me that anytime is not a word, despite my inclination to use it...

I'm still not sure whether til (or till?) is a word (as in a short form of until, like I waited till the movie was over...)

I don't how I missed that thread, if I had known I would not have started this one. In any case the number or replies seems to indicate that it was needed again.

This thread also reminds me of the time I read a description of "Rouge" Squadron, in some Star Wars thing -- thought I'd give it a barely passing grade, since Luke Skywalker identified himself as "Red 5" in the movie :-)

Don't feel too bad. When I was writing that post, I initially used "anytime" as an example, before thinking about it for a second and remembering, "Ah, yeah, that's not actually a word."

I blame hte Internet for geting in my brainz and makign me dummer lol!!!1

Also, I'm pretty sure both " 'til" and "till" are acceptable, though if I remember correctly, " 'til" is seen as kind of archaic or "old-timey" (like " 'tis"). "Till" is definitely a word, though, and as you said, that sense of it is the same in meaning as "until".
If you take a glance at that thread, you'll see it died off back in June. Probably just as well you started a new one.
Look! There it goes now!

Hey, no worries! The last thread made it to 9 pages, this one is almost there. It's interesting to see how history repeats itself, cycle after cycle. Despite my short time here I'm already witnessing the second cycle of "Rouge and Baulder Bashing" :D

EDIT: and it just reached 9 pages, poetical :)

If you change you page size to 1, then it's a 162 pages long at this point!

Not really, this is more poetical:

Is there something wrong
With a thread that's 9 pages long?

Nope, but it's really very sad
That my poetry's this bad.

Well, I should stop this chattering inane,
Before I drive the forumites insane! :-P

OK, semantically I concede :D
