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?

@MrsReeves

And this. Hangles

They've used the plural of chateau too.

Yes, a chateaux

Oh yes, I didnt spot that

Saw a comment from another parent on class dojo yesterday that said ‘I can ensure you’. Died inside.

My DH labelled the leftovers Spaghetti Bowl last night. He also writes keysh for Quiche. He has a well paid professional job, shows the standard of Comp education. To be fair I learned it's could've not could of from mum's net am I'm 39.

There is a woman on my local selling site that always writes wiv instead of with. I want to stab her in the eye.

I got an email from my DDs teacher saying that she refuses to "except help" from her TA!

@roobicoobi

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

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

This was my comment and I am well aware of that. My comment was in response to other posters' feeling that the spelling should be clear to everyone because they were pronounced very differently . Just saying in my accent they aren't .......

@Benjispruce3

A colleague used to say ‘As dead as a dormouse.’

I know I'm late, and that someone might have already responded, but that's a real old saying.

One of many, many variations on the theme.

Reading this thread makes me despair of hughmanatee, it really does....

This is a lighthearted thread. I don't care for the comment that denigrates every school that isn't selective. Absolute nonsense that comprehensive education leads to poor understanding. In Scotland we have true comprehensives and no grammar system for decades. I attended one, I work in one and my DS has just been named the Dux in his one. Hate that snobbery.

I agree @Puffalicious

My local Freecycle site has this gem:
Pedalling pool in good condition and hardly used on offer. Kids have grown big for it now.

Cyclist often get accused of peddling.

Thanks BIWI it really rips ma knittin' (as we say up here. We also teach Scots, and you don't want to start with the spelling of that!).

A TV what...?

From the Directors cut where Boba Fett locks Han Solo in a mahogany dresser.

Da fuq's the Dux?

@Davros

Da fuq's the Dux?

The Dux (Latin for leader) is the highest ranking academic student in the school. It's a very prestigious award here in Scotland. Do you not have this in the rest of the UK? There's also Proximi Asseccit (runner up).

Dux always has the top, top grades in every subject in the national exams (A level equivalent).

My point is that my DS wouldn't have managed this if comprehensive education was as shoddy as the PP suggested.

Wow, impressive. I went to a private school but all we had was Head Girl (not me!). Is it a boarding school thing like Exeat?

@Puffalicious I had to look Dux up so I've learnt something today.
Thanks
