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.

@MitziK 😅

Yes I will damn well make sure there's a spot free for those that say they get their dogs spaded! Drives me crackers too!

It's definitely think

I remember someone thinking it was pass papers not past papers.

Also pacific not specific.

That Tanzania was spelt Tanzanear.

SA rather than essay.

Most of these come down to people being lazy speakers I think rather than spelling

SA makes sense if they’ve never written the word or read it and not realised what it meant. Which we all do!

Maybe we just see more peoples writing these days online and notice it more

What does bug me are people not correcting themselves when they read the correct words out/are for example - easy to remember as your/our

My DH told me that someone at work was being made an "escape goat"! Oh how I laughed 😁

Oh I read a post earlier today in which the poster said 'Oh I could of wrote that'!

Whenever I read 'awry' my brain reads oary and hyperbole as hyper-bowl.
I am 58, I should know better. 

This:
I am also 58 - a legal secretary and a fairly confident speller. However this one got me recently when someone dictated awry and I could not for the life of me think how to type it - (I've always read it as "orry" and now realize I had no jdea what it meant) I had to ask how to spell it ... every day is a school day

I thought statuesque and statuesque were two different words

Read it as stat Es que and thought it just mean I dunno, model like
And heard as statue esk. You know, model like ...

So I heard and read it differently but applied the same meaning to both

I'm searching for a new sofa on selling pages and I've just seen a shayzlong for sale.

'Worse' instead of 'worst' is one I see a lot lately. 'The worse thing ever...' etc.
They can't all be typos/autocorrect.

Breath/breathe is another.
Discrete/discreet - it's apparently getting more common for people to think 'discrete' is an alternative spelling.

I've seen 'rest bite' a lot on a forum for carers (autocorrect tried to make that 'careers'!) of people with dementia.

In a way I can understand it, since the poor things are dying for a 'bite' of rest from it all.
