The amount of people saying it now baffles me. Are people really this dense.

I saw a furniture store selling dinning tables recently. I was looking for a dining table actually so I turned around and left.

I understand individuals making spelling errors. But on a business website it does give me pause. (Or should that be paws? 🙈)

As an Irish person who REALLY does not understand where that sounds like “drawers” I’m honestly baffled!!!!

Yes I have but I’m still allowed to be baffled…

Kuretake · 08/07/2025 08:29

What are you baffled about then? Just that different accents exist?

Chester draws

I’m in the SE and draws and drawers sounds exactly the same in my accent. I understand private individuals getting this wrong but B&Q should not be!
