It's "cited", not "sited".
"Web site", not "Web sight".
"Lose my temper|keys|manhood", not "Loose my temper|keys|manhood". Unless you're smart enough to know the difference between "lose" and "loose", you're wrong to use the second one.
"pore over", not "pour over".
I like to think that English is a living language, and grows to accomodate new cultures and things like street slang, but things like the above are simply wrong wrong wrong and you should learn to recognise them.
And, of course, learn to use the frickin' apostrophe.
It is a constant source of amazement - and irritation - how many otherwise intelligent, well-spoken people get these simple things wrong.
(Also, this post is doomed to have at least one grammatical error by the very nature of its content)
