to want to teach people how to spell certain words?

[AllOutOfNaiceHam]

You need to defiantly go to A&E.
Did he defiantly do that?
Tomorrow I will defiantly phone them.

I wand to defiantly punch these people. Definitely.

Brought instead of bought.
Draw instead of drawer.
Loose instead of lose.

It wasn't until I joined MN I noticed these, no one I know talks/writes like this It must be an English thing, us scots know our words I.e use totally different ones half the time haha

here op, have a read of this.

I can never spell weird properly auto correct does it for me now

Someone on my FB keeps putting stuff like "kids playing nicely WHY I relax on the sofa"

I can't BEAR it

YANBU. My spelling is turning to shit though

Bare with me...

I'm a copywriter so you'd think I'd know spellings an that, but when I did a course and had to write essays by hand I was at how poor my spelling is. Damn you autocorrect...

But teh is clearly just a typo for the - I do it all the time. Thare's a difference between an obvious typo and using the wrong word. Should of is my absolute worst, it drives me BANANAS.

I have seen so many agree with and indeed applaud a post stating 'Here, Here'
I always want to reply 'Where, Where?'

Here's one I don't understand - when you agree with someone, do you say hear, hear! or here, here!? They both make sense - "I hear you and agree" or "this person here agrees with you"

OMG, spooky crossed post, roseblanche!!

Specialky teenagers

Yes rose - that's another one. I suppose this is all the fault of the phonetic method of teaching and that's been going on so long that it's probably too late to do anything about all this. I wish I could make myself not care but I can't!

There's someone on my Facebook page who uses an apostrophe in every word ending in an s. It's getting to the point where I really want to send her a PM explaining how to use apostrophes correctly. I won't, but I have composed the email in my head!

It get's to the point where I can't stand reading her message's any more...!

No she was saying 'In Fan tree' emphasis on the F. Inventory is 'Inventry' or sometimes 'Invent ory (like story) depending on region I think.

The one that makes my teeth itch is grammer. Especially when people are discussing grammar schools.

And what is it with the brought/ bought? Is it a dialect thing?

Yy Redlocks. The grocer's apostrophe.

Our school newsletter detailed the charges for school lunches.
It said, 'Friday's only...' 'Wednesday's only...'

My absolute favourite, from a recent thread. I give you...

'It's a doggy dog world'

I love self scented and Chester draws

On MN I don't usually mind. The style is colloquial, people type fast to keep talk going and typos occur, brains and autocorrects make the wrong choice in the moment, etc.

I mind when I have commissoned a big professional study for £??k and that while reading the first draft I am replacing 'discreet' with 'discrete', 'compliment' with 'complement', and 'disinteretested' with 'uninterested'. I am very bad on either, neither, and nor and the correct combinations. Also when to use 'whose' / who's.

Oh I am going to have to use "its a doggy dog world" at some future point or other. LOVE that!

blu you need a copywriter... I'm totally top draw, self scented and I won't loose the thread

Whoever asked: it is definitely "hear hear".

Wilson - may well have an unexpected wee at that one

My kindle puts apostrophes in every single word ending in s.

I don't bother with them much on a chat forum tbh.

I remember the days when the only atrocious typos on MN were from Cod.

Then we all got iPhones and iPads and we're all at it, thanks to autocorrect..
