Language Question: Aswell?
Hope I don't offend (too many) people with this question, but it's been bugging me for a while now. I'm from the US, and I know there are several differences between the English and American spellings of certain words (color/flavor etc), but I've noticed that a ton of people that post on here use the "word" aswell. I googled and couldn't find anything to suggest that that's proper English anywhere. Is that just a common thing, or is there something I'm missing? Sadly, I notice a ton of people on US message boards that seem to think that "alot" is a word, but I don't think I've noticed "aswell" before reading these boards.

It means 'also' (or similar)

Well, I know that it's commonly used. That was part of my observation in the original post. I was asking if it was correct or not.
Speaking of commonly used, but incorrect, your post reminded me of another pet peeve of mine. Seems like about half the people that post (US and UK) don't know the difference between yea and yeah. Or, more likely know the difference, but don't care. yea/yeah probably bothers me more than your/you're, to be honest. |

I guess the main point of me creating this thread was wondering how many of the people that use aswell actually know that it's not a proper word and are just using it as slang/txtspeak/whatever to be cool vs how many actually think that it's a real word. |

"If every person who..." should be the start of your sentence. "That" is used for objects and "who" is used for people. |
Obviously that's not something that bothers me in the slightest. :blush:

One of my friends types "atoll" when he means "at all", it's always bugged me haha. Yeah it seems like a lot of people type aswell when they mean as well...
