to point out that it's not 'ect', it's 'etc'!

Come on, ladies - say it properly!

Alot

for MyNameIsInigoMontoya - in case you've never seen it before. And then may I recommend the god of cake on the same site

Damn! xposted with ItWas - still, great minds think alike!

Great minds, Thumbwitch

And again! Bloody hell . . .

Then there is the difference between "there", "their" and "they're," "lose" and "loose," "should of" instead of "should have" etc.........

Wondering/wandering and I've seen a strange quirk on here where posters when talking about pregnancies say 'on dd1' or 'on ds'. Why on?

Oh .

I type "mom".

Showy, please could you pass me me coat?

Sigh.

Nope. Stay there. Mom is fine and reminds me of you. In a good way. If somebody types 'mom' I immediately look to see who it is and hope it's you. Therefore mom stays.

ViviPru. I seem to mistype 'best retards" instead of "best regards" a lot, which could potentially be embarrassing.

Aww.

You are kind, darling, lovely, sweetheartish, funny ect, ect.

Oh, "ect" is my pet hate (I hear it everywhere even from BBC and Sky presenters!)
Another one is "seperate"... bloody hell.

I hate alot a lot(thanks for the link, I enjoyed that).

However, I know I am guilty of writing eachother instead of each other, it just looks right to me. I suppose I am getting better with spell checkers red-lining me.

My pet hate is when people misuse apostrophes! Makes my blood boil :)

'et cetera'

See that explains it to me - think I've been putting ect recently - though I am a bugger for picking up other peoples bad grammar and spelling. Honestly don't think anyone has explained where it come from to me before other than it being Latin which I have no working knowledge of.

I have started to wonder how many of the problems caused by my dyslexia could have been mitigated by sitting down and systematically teaching me grammar and phonics rather than expecting me to 'pick it up'. Honestly teaching phonics to my DC was a revelation to me.

See knew that was an issue so went an bought a book about how to do that properly.

I'm not stupid or I am and still managed a degree and masters from good universities. It's just my 1980 schooling somehow failed to teach me this stuff.

YABU, it is ect as any fule kno

I have heard people say 'ecetera', which does sound odd.

I'm not great at hearing sounds in words - but thinking about it people round here do say 'ecetera' - and it doesn't sound 'odd'. We've been here a while so it probably not helping my confusion.

It just sounds wrong to me, probably cause it is.

Pronouncing the H in H Haitch, silent groan

Don't get me started on Chor-it-soe for Chorizo
If you offer me a coffee I will scream

what about "I got it for free"? Is "for free" a norm now??
