So I realised I didn't know how to say/spell...

[Yulebealrite]

Fell swoop.

I wrote foul swoop. Thought no, fowls fly and swoop so it's probably that. Checked it by googling and realised that I've been saying it wrongly al these years.

It's fell swoop.

@Klobluchar I hate this too.... generally heard from car salesmen "Come down to the office and ask for myself"
It makes my teeth itch!!!

Oops...

...it means debatable, not settled or unspoken.

It doesn't 'phase' me instead of using 'faze'. You're not a bloody angle!

I'm fed up of seeing squashed up words like aswell and alot. Oh, and the hideous 'rediculous'. Feck off!

Also, people who can't spell Avocado. You get advocado, and my personal favourite, avocardo 🤬

Always seeing 'defiantly' instead of definitely.

My other half thinks a hand me down is a handy down.

After following football for years and my team playing 'boro' a lot, only just found out Middlesbrough isn't spelt boro

Started to read a self-published book and got only as far as about page 5 when a character was described as having an "equine" nose.

Didn't bother reading further .... !

It’s about time this thread had the obligatory “if you think that you’ve got another thing coming/think coming” debate.

I used to think common or garden was communal garden

Pacific/ specific; refuge/ refuse; mute/ moot; discrete/discreet; advice/ advise; practice/ practise; licence/ license; register office/ registry office - also loose/lose (I need to loose a couple of pounds)
Rediculous is a new one, I've noticed it a lot in the past few weeks.

I once followed a poster's thread in which she spent many a 'wrestler's night' worrying about her DH....

It's "another think coming".

And anyone who argues otherwise has another think coming.

It's the only version that makes logical sense!

If my teen says he did something "on accident" one more time there’s going to be trouble.

@PuppyMonkey - you beat me to it. I too was wondering how long until "another think coming" would be brought up.

Just reading a thread where people who are claiming to be teachers are replying and we've had 'greatful' and 'prevailiant'.

Brought/ bought.

And why do teenagers insist on saying 35 past eight, or whatever time it is? The first time I heard it was in a tutoring centre and it was used by one of the young workers there obviously educated and should know better . I put it down to a one off - but no, I've heard it lots since then.

How about bias? As in “I like it but there again I am bias”.

Myself and Fred instead of Fred and I
Within instead of in
obeast instead of obese

AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!

"Que me trying to..." - wtf? WHAT? Habla usted Inglés?

I proper lol'd the other week when I read "rest bite". Sadly it's not something you can freely laugh at because of course anyone using either that phrase or the correct one is having a tough time.

"I text him" used as a past tense. Argh! I also hate the words gifted used to mean given something and invite used as a verb.

Missing out the words 'to be'

It needs cleaned

Noooooo, it needs TO BE cleaned or it needs cleaning.

I've said this here before I was sure for many years a long time the 70's song by The Moody Blues was Knights in White Satin

Click instead of clique

Today on MN someone wrote 'rest bight' meaning 'respite'.
