Two things people routinely get slightly wrong on Mumsnet that set your teeth on edge and which you would ban....

[CurlewKate]

Mine are "nickname" when you mean "shortening" and "double-barrelled" when you mean "hyphenated"

Using discrete, when they usually mean the more common word discreet.

A thread that starts off moaning about DH then suddenly turns into DS owing to a typo fail. Confused by the end of it.

All of the above!

On the baby names thread, people are always sharing names and saying things like “ Georgina, nn George”. It’s not a nickname, it’s a diminutive, a shortening of the given name.

Yes, to advise/advise. Also licence/ license. If you have a driving licence, you are licensed to drive.

Kerb and curb. The kerb is the thing at the edge of the pavement. To curb something is to reduce or restrict it, like “ curb your enthusiasm.”

Definitely of instead of ‘ve.

English is my second language, but I’ve noticed a type of mistake lately that I never used to see; a women! Or ‘many woman’!
I hear people confuse the two in spoken language as well. Really, really annoying!

Asserting that celebrating Halloween and use of 'mom' are Americanisms and that this makes both things trashy.

Both incorrect and snobbish

Eh?

A whole OP with zero punctuation and zero paragraphs. The two normally go hand in hand.

Should that be queue?

It's using nickname instead of diminutive for me too. They are completely different things, a nickname is an affectionate name that arises spontaneously as a result of your personality or an an event etc. It may last for a v short or long time, whereas a diminutive is a short form of a given name.

People using ‘bring’ instead of ‘take’.

For example, ‘he said he would bring me to work next week but now he’s changed his mind’. Makes me shout ‘IT’S TAKE!!!’ every time.

Or ‘I want to bring a cake to my DGD 1st birthday party and my DIL is annoyed. AIBU?’ No. But your use of the English language is.

Caveat - I know the Irish use ‘bring’ in this way. This is fine. I am English / Irish.

I think you mean cringeworthy. Thank you!

Also posters who give financial 'advice' that is just wrong such as how overpaying a mortgage saves thousands in interest when the OP has said they're 2 years into a 10 year fix with an interest rate of 1.5%.

Totally agree. I felt compelled to provide a very tedious worked example recently as 90% of posters said to overpay without considering the opportunity cost of not saving/investing that money.

Click when the poster means clique.

"Defiantly" when they mean "definitely"

Everyday.
It doesn't mean each day - that would be every day.

But it's now such an everyday occurrence that the original meaning has been hijacked out of existence I think!
See what I did there?

merryhouse I'm with you re the CofE. Did you read ANWilson on the subject in The Times just over a week ago?

They apostrophe is correct in US English so they probably get it from American media. Don't know about other English-speaking countries.

And DS can mean Dear Son or dear sister. DD can mean dear daughter or dear dog. I hate all of them.

A couple of sayings that annoy me (not just here):
People who say “to the manor born” (when it’s “to the manner born”: the sitcom was making a pun).
And people who say “the proof is in the pudding” (when it’s “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”).

Blaming Americans for anything trashy - baby showers, the commercialization of Halloween....

Not that baby showers or halloween are trashy.

Your baby, your rules.
Trust your gut.

Gotten, why the f has this suddenly appeared everywhere?
Soon we'll all speak with American accents, instead of just their rotten words.

‘Me and went shopping.’ Using me as the subject, it should be ‘I’ as in ‘ and I went shopping.’ The very worst offender. Me went shopping. No ‘me’ didn’t. 🤯

I only see it here. I have never heard anyone in real life do it.

Shakespeare used gotten.

“Per say”
