Which spelling mistakes really grate with you?

[TheTecknician]

Maybe it should be 'what', not 'which'. Anyways..

-aircrafts. Grrr! The plural of aircraft is 'aircraft', not 'aircrafts'. Even aviation companies make this mistake. No excuse.

BTW, I know spelling isn't easy for some so let's keep this light hearted.

Isn’t it “great”? Just kidding!

“Would/could/should of” - IT IS HAVE, NOT OF (it even autocorrected me when trying to write this!) Grates on me every time!
That and the wrong their/there/they’re 😩🫣😂

His instead of he’s

Your and you're

I find the use of the word 'fruits' quite annoying. Like, the plural of fruit is fruit. Why add an S?

My boss did this when she was trying to boast about how generous they were because we were getting a box of 'fruits' delivered each week for free consumption. I don't know why, it just sounds so fucking wank!

Loose instead of lose

I'm so sorry OP, this will sound awful but I hate 'anyways' instead of anyway. 🤣

Angle rather than Angel.

'Dose anyone know...?' See it all over Facebook.

'It's thunder and lightening here.' Well, good to know the clouds are clearing I suppose.

Not exactly a spelling mistake but when people don’t know the difference between lay and lie

Sneak peak when it should be peek

I absolutely hate it when people write “carnt” instead of “can’t”. My Facebook is full of it and my mum and brother do it all the time.

I can't bare it.
(You can bare it, but maybe not in polite company. You mean you can't bear it).

Are instead of our.

Would/could/should/might of.

There, their, they're.

DESPATCHED....its bloody dispatched

Ect. It is an abbreviation of et cetera. In what world does that make 'ect' right?

Never seems ‘aircrafts’, normally airplanes.
Not really spelling but hate ‘ect’ instead of ‘etc’.
Plus the usual there their and your you’re.

People who write “tow” the line when it should be “toe.”
Tow makes no sense.
And ‘free reign’ when it is free REIN (as in a horse’s bridle, letting them run)

I'm from Ireland and instead of saying you all, we say youse or youseuns. But when people SPELL this on FB - argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And 'ano' instead of saying 'I know'.

Gotten. Your instead or you’re. Just about anything spelt USA way!

The other way round is worse I think. Both awful though. I mean in speech I get that his can be pronounced a bit like he's, but to write it wrong is horrendous!

Wondering instead of wandering. Wonder = Thinking /Questioning. Wander = travelling / moving.

This is mine too, it’s very American and drives me a bit nuts. There are more American habits like that that wind me up but I can think of any right now.

See meats and cheeses ! I actual recoil if i hear it out loud, it is meat and bloody cheese.😡

Words that are run together when they should be separate.
Abit
Alot

I wonder if this is a Northern thing? I was an adult before I came across 'laying in bed'
It still sounds odd to me 😁
