I'll take your Chester draws and I'll raise you a...

Wallah! It's the first time I've seen voilà written this way. But when I think about it, it seems like a really obvious thing to do so I wonder how common it is.
Is it a "thing" that I've just missed before now?

@RaraRachael

vunerable is a pet hate of mine as well as deteriate. Both regularly used by news readers. Also secetary, library and Febuary. Grrrr....

Library is correct

Some say liberry.

@CustardySergeant

RaraRachael Library is correct.

Sorry, I meant when people say libary instead of library - that's what happens when you post late at night without your contact lenses in

By the way the numbers are formed, I'd bet a lot of money that the willy been writer has English as at least their second language.

@BluebellsareBlue

Honestly it grinds my gears to see people typing "how can I reorganise my draw" what the ACTUAL fuck? What school did these people stay away from?!? I'm in a fb group, DIY on a budget, have had great tips on there but for fucks sake, the amount of people that write draw instead of drawer kills me!! It's only the English people and I think it's because of the accent, it sounds like draw when they say it but fucking Jesus Mary and the wee donkey, crack a fucking book! Preferably a dictionary!

Calm down love !

Honestly if people get this worked up about a simple spelling error you have to wonder what the rest of their life is like !

In my accent drawer / draw is pronounced exactly the same .

It’s not really a simple error though is it? It’s a basic word used all the time. It’s like spelling house hows.

I think it's because people don't think about what the words mean.

It's sad because many of these people only speak English.

@stackemhigh no, it will be 'love little Johnny's altfit from Next, h&m etc.

Or went food shopping came back with another altfit. Can't help myself.

Bargain alfit in the sale for dd.

*altfit

In my accent drawer / draw is pronounced exactly the same .

It's not written the same though, which is the point.

Noone.

Noone is a surname.

My phone won’t let me use Noone without red lines and autocorrecting to no one. Give me rage.

I saw something today about someone applying for a dropped curve!

Common infant school misspellings...

Penis= pennies
Fuck= fork

Smoking mirrors

Still makes sense though!

@BlackeyedSusan

Common infant school misspellings...

Penis= pennies
Fuck= fork

Also cunt = couldn't. Probably better in a Northern accent.

Saw another thread today where someone was talking about "been a mum" along the lines of "what's the best thing about been a mum? For me it's been able to ...."

very poor grasp of English.

This was something that made me smile as I read them both very shortly apart.

First person was advertising a toe rope, the second was saying that they needed to tow the line. It was the beauty of reading them both five minutes apart.

I saw on a FB group this morning
Mistermeeners 😂

There's a post today where vulnerable has been auto-corrected(?) to venerable.

I've just remembered another "trickle treating"

And this. Hangles

@The4teddybears

Michelangelo painted the 16th Chapel !

OMG that's priceless!

The linguist Arnold Zwicky hypothesises that it's what non-French speakers would automatically write if they knew the word aurally but not in writing

aurally Oh, the irony!

Not sure what the problem with that is? 'Aural' means to hear.

@shinynewapple21 they are pronounced the same for me too but I learnt about homophones in primary school
