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

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.

Uppermost in my mind is the determination to do my utmost.

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

I just had to look this one up as I couldn't see what was wrong with it. It was released in 1967 so it's taken 52 years for me to discover it's 'Nights in White Satin'. I'm shocked!!!

A moot point is an irrelevant point.

Regardless of who wins the argument, the outcome won't matter.

Post on fb today suggesting someone should "air on the side of caution".

My niece once said she hoped I hadn't "taken a fence" at something she'd said.

"Open boarders"

Drives me nuts!

People who type loose instead of lose. You lose a bag, you don't loose a bag. Drives me mad.

The use of 'myself' instead of 'me' is intensely irritating. I have to bite my tongue to stop myself saying anything.

And 'of' instead of 'have'.

Somethink
Anythink
Nothink
These words end in a g

Formally instead of formerly.

People who type 'his' when they mean 'he's'

Loads of posters on here can't spell woman and write women instead. "I saw this women with her toddler in Tesco". Man/men, woman/women FFS!

That’s true, but modern. The original, long-standing meaning was ‘debatable’. It has now added ‘not worthy of debate’ as a meaning by a process of misunderstanding.

I stick to the original on the basis that (I hope) more people would understand it that way. But I do accept that the recent meaning has gone mainstream.

People who say they got weighted rather than weighed - what is that all about?

just using this thread to point out that it's CAHMS instead of CAMHS - I see it on here all the time. Like they think it'll 'cahm' you down.
Also it's 'etc' not 'ect'

^ aaagghh! I mean the other way round... I edited the start of my post and it reversed the meaning!!

I’ve seen people write about their walk along the toe path 🙈

Brought instead of bought
Chester draws
Borrowed instead of lent
People who say PIN number..

I could go on

Omg PIN number. Thought I was the only one!

I say pin number

Bobbin , (to) invite is a verb. You mean used as a noun? That sets my teeth on edge too. As does “bias” used as an adjective, and “close minded”. Aaaarghh.

When I was a child I thought “society” (as in secret society) was pronounced “so-sher-ty”. Come to think of it there are probably loads of words I’ve only ever read and would pronounce incorrectly

@kezzy13 chester draws! I posted this earlier! Are you my cousin Suzanne? That would be so cool 😀

beerandpopcorn

I am in fact...

Not your cousin

Now if you'll excuse me I have lots of clothes to put away in my Chester draws and my walldrope

Break/brake. Your car has brakes and you break a vase.
Kerb/curb. Kerb is the bit at the end of the pavement. You curb your enthusiasm, meaning that you rein it in.

What would you say instead of pin number?
