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.

This is a long-accepted anglicized phrase of the original French.

No way I would ever accept such a bastardisation. It’s just wrong.

Not a spelling mistake as much as a grammatical error - and my lovely DH says this ALL the time. I 'done' the dishes. I 'done' the watering. I 'done' the shopping.

No! You didn't 'done' the blooming shopping! You DID the shopping! Or, you have done the shopping.

Me too!

Loath when they mean loathe.

I see ‘defiantly’ instead of ‘definitely’ all over social media, really annoying!
I have a couple of friends that say ‘unindated’ instead of inundated … I’ve stopped trying to correct them when they say it now 😆

I’m rather fond of “little angle”

But, “on route”… Please, no!

It is quite acute.

I can't bear "Devine" for "divine".

People who slam on the breaks
Sell dinning tables
Demand we close the boarders
Call people physcos

Are when it should be our!!!

This thread has really peaked my interest. Er no it’s piqued actually.

How many times do you see ect instead of etc. Also a lot of people don’t know the difference between pallet, palate and palette. Very annoying.

QANTAS, the Australian national airline. It is an acronym for Queensland And Northern Territories Aerial Service (or something similar) and I once saw it misspelled in a school text book with a 'u' after the 'Q'. I pointed out the mistake to the teacher but she took some convincing! She acquiesced after I told her flatly that The Tecknician doesn't make mistakes!😉

Loose/lose - I swear I have a visceral reaction when they get muddled 😵‍💫

I dumped a guy who said 'we was' instead of 'we were'.

Oh my god yes and people who mix up learning and teaching! "He learnt me how to do it" 🙈

Not spelling, but people using utilised as a synonym for used drives me mad.

I may be guilty of this.

Save ARE kids.
That is all.

There is a lovely Italian restaurant that puts 'Diner' on their manus.

I don't have the heart to tell them because they are always so nice, and they have English as a second language.

accommodation off the top of my head, i always check

or if we are taking grammar,
then
we should of gone to bed

Probably pretty niche to the S&B board but Uniglo instead of Uniqlo. Drives me nuts.

Fabreeze.

"they’ve got another thing coming"

"peruse" when it should be "pursue"
