PSA: Alot, abit and aswell are NOT WORDS

[Bussinbussin]

I know many people don't care about spelling, and there are good reasons many people can't spell well. This post is for people who do care, it's not to cast judgement on people who can't.

It's an interesting phenomenon where these bastardised words start appearing here and there in social media, and within a matter of weeks they take off and it seems like everyone is using them. Aswell is very new on the scene, I doubt anyone was writing it a couple of years ago.

This should be in pedants’ corner.

Thanks, I had no idea it existed. I doubt it's used by the target audience of my post though.

Neither is Iv

Neither is Iv

Haven't seen that one!

I just read 'infact' somewhere though.

It is mean for those who struggle with spelling.
For those who don't struggle though, please can I offer up "NOONE" in place of "no one"? It annoys me more than any other mistake 😑
