I hate 'I'm looking to sale these'
How hard is it to distinguish from sell and sale?

How? Sell and Sale. Both have same letters different placement (minus the a). I am selling cookies. I made a sale off of cookies.

You forgot to mention LOST and LOSS
Lose, lost, loss, and loose.
I can see the confusion.

Again, how? Did you guys really just completely ignore grades k-6? Even if you barely paid attention in school, this is anything to be confused about. Gotta blame your parents. They probably didn't didn't do those little grammar packets with you.

Grammar packets?
No, no she didn't.
k-6 was like 20 years ago.
I'll have issues with helping my child out with long division.

Son over here talking about how sale and sell are confusing.
Jeeeeez.
They are 2 two different tenses completely. you were about to sell it. Then you sold it. then you made a sale.

Uh, cause the tense of 'sale' and 'sell' are "confusing" to you.

I don't think it's the definition of the word.
Pronouncing the word is what is really causing the spelling errors.

That's no excuse. You use grammar everyday of your life. Did you not write papers or essays at least through 12th grade? Do you compose emails in a professional setting? Yea, I'm typing while having another convo and giving directions, so yea I should've said isn't in my previous post.

Blue collar crook over hurr
My handwriting is terrible as well.
Still out here flurrrrishin.
Point is, when your an adult some things are more important to remember then others.
The most typing and grammar checking I do is on NT.

Your reading comprehension wasn't up to par here fam
He was agreeing that this isn't an easy mistake to make.
But that sentence about them containing the same letters and all that should've been left out because it's just dumb and added nothing to the rest of the post.
At this point I think improper ellipsis usage irks me the most often. Seeing complete thoughts ended by ellipses or people using like 20 dots for no reason annoy me way more than I would've ever thought they could.
I can't stand the sight of full sentences that have every word/no words capitalized either.

Reading the responses back is key. You didn't read my reply back to the one that was confused? I graduated with top honors 4.0 in HS obviously I know the difference between sell and sale.

I was actually talking to the dude he quoted, my bad in the quote confusion. I also responded to dude up there when it wasn't supposed to be directed at him. My bad.
