Bare with your nstead of bear .. aghhh

This seems to be popping up everywhere. At first it was funny as it's suggesting nakedness. But now it's aggravating! It's so common now. Why?
Feel it's particularly bad at work. Please bare with me on this.

I have a colleague who regularly says “I seen”, “I done”, “I have wrote” etc but what pushed me over the edge was when she said “it couldn’t have went any wronger”

@hoobanoobie I did! Apologies. Bear with me while I loose my instinctual spellings that I should of known. Omg this hurts.

Bares is a clever anagram of arse with an extra b, just in case anyone needs a tip to remember.

I also have a colleague who shouts 'I seen' and 'I done'. I hate it. My particular bugbear is 'been' and 'being' mixed up though, eg 'The project is been handed in tomorrow.' Wtf they are different words! And a chest of draws instead of drawers.

‘I was sat’ isn’t right either though…

You can have ‘I sat’ or ‘I was sitting.’

Oh god, yes, this. 'I'm sat' is also commonly heard and so frustrating. I wish so much that all this would go away! 😥

Started hearing please may you .... from DD 16.

Hate it! I'm officially old now. Old and grammar cranky.

Me too, sadly. I wince every time I.

This really annoys me! Started to hear it professionally a few years ago. In a school. I despair.

My boss wrote on the team WA group that she was going to ask if we were aloud to put Xmas decorations on our desk. Made me wince it did.

I thought it was just my 16 DD. So it's a thing everywhere with adults? Please may you... Ahhh. Is this American?

I blame phonics in primary, and total lack of grammar in secondary. Bizarre. They did lots of grammar, too much in primary. Then none in secondary.

I often reply that I'll go bare after they do, it gets a strange response until the penny drops. My favourite was a memo at work that said "the stationary cupboard has moved....."

The one that really grates is a local expression, jamp, as in "I jamp across the stream" instead of jumped 😂🙄

I hate when people say Pacific, when meaning to say specific. Also spear instead of sphere.... Arghhhh!

I have seen a few people use 'your' instead of 'you're' recently on Facebook.
One of those people also typed 'mummies', meaning 'mummy's'.

I can understand some mistakes but these examples are basic grammar!

TBF Autocorrect is responsible for all my your/you're errors... I know the difference but one doesn't always proofread thoroughly for an off the cuff post. 🙃

On that subject, I rarely see lose used, it's always bloody loose 🙄

Anyhow, I once saw a Facebook post talking about some loose horses and she bloody used lose! I couldn't believe it, the one time loose would have been correct!

This was raised on the pedants board a few weeks ago, and I said then that my response is 'No, I may not.'

Hate to say it but the Snapchat generation's grammar is likely to be diabolical. I'm not a complete pedant. But they've been trash talking on Snapchat for years and voice messaging. So grammar is likely to go off a cliff! We thought that text abbreviations was an abomination in the 90's! How wrong we were!

I may know where you are…I used to get that in a school I taught in.

Yes, thank you!
I always think that but I see reign used so many times I had begun to doubt myself.

‘Reigns’ - meaning the things that stop a toddler running off - instead of ‘reins’.

A king or queen reigns!

🙂Should I sympathise with you?

Was we

Urgh

Were we !!!!!
