For those that are not aware or have simply forgotten what they learned in elementary school:
through-"I am through with this thread."
threw-"The engine threw a rod"
sell-"I have decided to sell my car."
sale-"I made the sale on Tuesday."
loose-"The lugnuts were loose."
lose-"The Camaro can never lose!"
mute-"I had to mute the radio."
moot-"It's a moot point."
choose-"You need to choose your races wisely."
chose-"I chose a 2SS over a GT500."
I'm sure there are others I have missed, but these are the misused words I see the most on many forums.

I'm glad you feel that way! hahah
In all seriousness, yes, people are stupid. They should be sent back to the forth grade and learn all this stuff over again.
