'bare' with me

[eddiemairswife]

I know I shouldn't laugh at other peoples' mistakes, but when I see this I imagine hordes of naked women dancing around.

I keep spotting 'low and behold' and it makes me want to cry.

Discusting is another one that winds me up!

I had to Google that to see what the problem was! To be fair, if you've only ever heard it said out loud then it's a pretty easy mistake.

I find it unbearable when people say 'I aksed her' instead of asked
What is that about??

@Jinglejanglefish so are bear/bare, toe/tow, break/brake etc.

It’s not fair to make people with spelling and grammar problems Escape Goats

so are bear/bare, toe/tow, break/brake etc.

Who the heck hasn't seen both of all those homonyms written down - you just need to think for a moment what a phrase means surely to know which is correct?

OTOH 'lo' has pretty much dropped out of normal usage.

At least that makes sense, etymologically.
Scapegoat:
'mid 16th century: from archaic scape ‘escape’ + goat.'

Queue lots of pedants joining in!
Your all loosers!

Yourselves are really upsetting myself with all this nitpicking.

I'm on route to look for the other thread

You could have made that 'queue' even worse, at least you didn't use 'que'.

The amount of curbs on parking threads make my teeth hurt! Dropped curbs, quite often.

Predictive text and auto-correct are both bastards, though. Especially for spelling and grandma (see what I did there) nazis.

God yes! I’ve seen that too! “Que cbf from MIL”

“ I really want too” - aagh! I know of some well educated people who misuse “ to” & “ too”. And don’t get me started on “ should of”! Oh & “ aloud” when it should be “ allowed”. I know some of it is predictive text & I absolutely understand that people could be dyslexic but a lot of the time there’s just no excuse. I really wonder what people learn in school!

I'm a member of a local gardening club and I was recently invited to visit a (male) member's garden. So along I went, admired his horticultural efforts then was invited in for lunch. We had salad from the garden, tomatoes from his greenhouse - and a quicky

'Curb' was the earlier spelling of 'kerb', and of course still is the norm in the US.

We stopped for sausage rolls en croute.

I prefer a barbeque

Can I just add 'ay wallah'! My favourite.

Good god, on route bothers me, its even on the predictive text. All the americanisms with the z's (realize, grrr) and the missing 'u' (color), the should of's, but i have noticed absolutely loads of 'baring' this week .

The off/of and the there/eir/y're.

It does make reading the sense harder! Auto-correct does play games though and often incorrect spellings slip through thought.

Nude with me

I think you’ve all done fantastic!
Ect ect

(male) member's garden. f'ner f'ner

The member belonging to the male (titter,titter)

Was the last word deliberate or did Muphry's Law strike again?
