Thank you to the lovely poster who started a thread attempting to further embarrass me. Sadly, it was deleted. So here I am.. AMA!

I’m restarting the thread because I have a Mumsnets related question. Now as you all know, I of all people am in no position to question anyone’s spelling. But I keep seeing ‘yooneek’ in so many threads and no one corrects (surprising for Mumsnet). Is this a Mumsnet word? I thought it was supposed to be ‘unique’ but I know there’s a back story for words like ‘naice’ - same for ‘yooneek’?

Regardless, I think it’s awesome 😎

Are the posters taking the piss? Sometimes MN posters indulge in their little in-jokes, e.g. on the Baby Names board, 'oh please don't give your child a yooneek spelling of Vanessa like Varnaessar that will haunt them all their lives ...'

Yes! This is where I see it! The names board. It took my dumb arse ages to work out what it meant lol. I even googled to see if I was spelling it wrong 😂

It’s been fun gang. Thank you all for sharing your spelling mishaps and supporting me in my ‘8 mile last battle rap scene moment’ (If you know, you know).

One last one for the road. I used to say ‘prefectionist’ instead ‘perfectionist’. But I now know more than I did about spelling and after 33 years, I can finally spell ‘respite’.

Goodbuy 😜 (that’s a joke btw, don’t come for me)

I always thought the bossy students in school stories were called Perfects because they were all so well behaved, as I’d never herd the word Prefects.

Did you think rest-bite meant a nap and a bite to eat?
