Grammar v.4

(I love the sentiment of this, but can we note that "seperate" is spelled wrong? Um....)

It hasn't been that long since I posted one of these, but I have a substantial list already so I thought I'd go ahead. All of these have been found as I read things on the Internet and they just make me shake my head.
1. once and a while: This is not the correct phrase. It's "once in awhile," meaning it doesn't happen too often. Seriously, if you look at it, it doesn't even make sense.
2. quite vs. quiet: "Quite" means "absolutely; to the utmost extent". "Quiet" means "shhhhhhh!"
3. exited vs. excited: "Exited" means "to leave". Excited is when you are anxiously overjoyed about something. That "c" is very important here.
4. shoot vs. chute: Shoot- to fire a gun. Chute- a slide. I just had to laugh (out loud) when I saw someone talking about going down the shoot.
5. and 6. Now, don't you think that companies who most likely have these things called "editors" would have their act together. Not so much. (Thanks to Betsy for tweeting both of these!)

I don't care if it is a marketing slogan, @VictoriasSecret. This is bad grammar. pic.twitter.com/4aNQgJm2kf
