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?

So many questions about this one...

"Close the boarders it's discusting" was one I saw recently.

@Ruthietuthie

Last week there was a Mumsnet thread where someone was described as being rather "non-shallot." The thread rather sad in its content, and probably not the place for a grammar jump-on but it made me laugh. It will be non-shallot for ever from now on.

🤣

@Bluntness100

I have to be honest.

When people write “draws” instead of drawers it always surprises me. I understand many people are sadly functionally Illiterate, but when posting on a forum it’s clear you have a very basic grasp of being able to read and write. How people get to adult hood, have their own homes and don’t know it’s a drawer and not a draw always surprises me.

It's that pesky non-rhotic 'r'. You'd never see someone with a Scottish accent, for example, making that sort of mistake (but probably other mistakes!)

@BanTheMLMScam

I saw a post that read "You're such a hypocrit, it's like the popcorn kettle black"

Took me a while to work it out but it's my new favourite saying now 🤣

Someone needs so explain this to me!

Our local seaside estate agent is advertising a flat with see vues on a garden board.

Or garden bored?

@geezahoose it should be "the pot calling the kettle black."

Yes, non shallot made me laugh. It sounded like a Jewish greeting ‘Mazel tov!’ ‘Non shallot!’

I've never heard that saying so maybe that's why I couldn't get it

Is amazing how many people think being able to spell matters more than having the good manners not to criticise other people's errors.

I really hate these threads.

cunts' pedants' corner is that way -->

I used to go to Anti Natal classes. Everyone was at least 6 months pregnant. We were all pro-pregnancy by that point.

My seller on my local FB page had a "chez lang" for sale recently.

I did read the "non shallot" thread and had to sit on my hands.
I do have a cat called Charlotte and call her "that's shallot " routinely though

This one made me chuckle, it was on a local FB community page.

A relative was giving a party and I texted asking could I bring a contribution to the buffet. She replied with "no I have it all covered. Just making some vollyvonts then its all done"

They tasted lovely too!

Is that Punka Wallah in It Ain't Half Hot Mum? Funniest show!

It is important that we keep our language clear and pure - grammar and spelling mistakes are abhorent.

High fizz jackets. DH would love one of those- would make a building site so much more entertaining!

@Toottootdrivers

Rest bite. It amazes me how many people use it!

saw that today on a staff whatsApp - I've even seen it on programmes for a sports competition

I always thought it was alum key. You know made of aluminium, who the heck is allen anyway 😂

I saw on Instagram some handy hints on cleaning your Bineshire blinds!

Not a spelling mistake, a missing word, One bed near the sea, £500 a month.

I refuse to believe its bad spelling, I think some people use auto correct and fail to check which imho is a cardinal sin 😂

Led down….
By medical professionals!
Led…ffs!!

@SimonJT

Wallah is a word, it means I promise or I swear to god, but a lot of people use it to mean an expression of joy, something really good etc. It also sounds more like voilà than voilà does.

I know it's a real word. It makes the whole thing even funnier!
