Why can no one spell...

[sonlypuppyfat]

Does? I'm in a few facebook groups and in nearly everyone, " dose anyone know a recipe" or " dose anyone know a good film" I so want to correct that one word, but that doesn't make you many friends

mainly autocorrect for me, or knackeredness, or the fact that my keyboard now has nothing on the A S or D keys to indicate they are the A S or D keys, so I get them mixed up sometimes -

apparently my spell checker is telling me knackeredness is not a word, but I will ignore it anyhow as it actually conveys my meaning without even actually existing...

and that is what communication is about - the conveyance of information to others - 99.99% of the time I know what someone means, so hey-ho who cares...

It's maybe because some of us just don't see the spelling mistakes on a screen - they're obvious on paper for me, but not always on a screen. Plus it's txt spk, innit? People are doing a million things at once so rush their communication. I also think that the written word is less formal than it used to be, in general. I see communications on a professional level that make my inner pedant curl up and die. My personal bugbear is "must of".

It doesn't help that we're all surrounded by signs selling us 'BBQs', 'snax' and 'donuts', etc etc etc everywhere we turn...

I don't like seeing 'heals' instead of 'heels' on style and beauty. It happens a LOT!

Then there are those who think that 'a lot' is all one word!
One of my colleague creates folders in employee files entitled 'Contractural Changes'.

Some of these examples are discusting.

I saw "rest in piece" recently.

The sun is shinning does my head in. Also, I brought a new top.

“I seen” really grates on me.
My spelling and grammar isn’t perfect so I don’t
know why I get annoyed when I spot these things but I do.
Defiantly is another.

Alot
Allot
Abit
Carnt
Arnt

And fucking apostrophe's used in plural's 😡

If I was neckless I wouldn’t have anywhere to wear a necklace!

Yep, can’t bare these to.

Loose vs lose is the one that always pisses me off. I can't understand how people can get them mixed up 🤨

A blessing in the skies,has to be my new favourite

Yes! Carnt is one I see a lot as well

'A women' seems to be a fairly new one.

"Upmost" is one I see on social media and it makes me grit my teeth.

'A women' seems to be a fairly new one

That’s autocorrect as well.

I've seen a lot of "we except credit cards" and "now excepting applications for ..." on groups. Accept, people, accept 😤

Why don't people check their auto correct settings or is it not possible?

"My child's so cleaver"

Yoo need best spilling on serioos internalnets. Cuz peopel reed stuff n fink yoos an stoopid person.

My current irritation is people who appear not to know the difference between affect and effect. Makes me swear out loud.

Passed and past.
